The question of launch subsidies from European governments to EADS/Airbus
is indeed a sticky one, to which I agree the governments involved have not
been entirely forthcoming. But to characterize EADS/Airbus as a wholly
owned subsidiary of the French government, even "for all practical
purposes" is an unacceptable simplification.


Actually, to characterize Airbus as a wholly owned subsidiary of the French
government, even "for all practical purposes", is simply incorrect.
