'After leaving the Navy, Blair became president of the Institute for Defense Analyses, the Pentagon think tank. He stepped down in 2006 after an internal Defence Department inquiry found he should have recused himself from two studies on the F-22 programme because he served on two company boards involved in the fighter jet.

The Pentagon probe concluded there was a conflict of interest even though it determined Blair did not unduly influence the studies' conclusions. Blair denied any wrongdoing. '
