Read this in the AF Times today:
Sarbayev also complained the United States has failed to adequately compensate Kyrgyzstan for $650,000 worth of damage caused to a civilian Tu-154 plane when it collided with a U.S. KC-135 tanker aircraft.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that Russian plane rear end our tanker? Why would the U.S. be liable for that?
