An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post reports that the 'The Air Force's top leadership sought for three years to spend counterterrorism funds on "comfort capsules" to be installed on military planes that ferry senior officers and civilian leaders around the world ... Air Force documents spell out how each of the capsules is to be "aesthetically pleasing and furnished to reflect the rank of the senior leaders using the capsule," with beds, a couch, a table, a 37-inch flat-screen monitor with stereo speakers, and a full-length mirror'. Congress told the USAF twice that they could not spend the money on this boondoggle, but they did it anyway. No word on whether the comfort capsules will be equipped with 'comfort girls' and/or 'comfort boys'."
