The WP and LAT front, and the NYT reefers, the jail sentence for a former Pentagon official who admitted in April to awarding contracts to Boeing unfairly before taking a job with the aerospace giant. During her sentencing Friday, a more full accounting of her crimes came out, including an admission that she misled investigators after her initial plea and that she also explicitly sought jobs for her daughter and son-in-law in exchange for awarding Boeing inflated contracts worth more than $20 billion. For all this her term was increased to 9 months.
