I mean ledger wise, Airbus isn't exactly the same as the military division (forgot the name) of EADS. We know who makes the jets and where they come from. Legally, for lawsuit purposes, they aren't exactly the same.

I still don't have an opinion yet. So far I've read good arguments on both sides. Let's hope the airforce made the best decision with available information.
