Another smoking gun

The Associated Press has learned that five days before Toyota announced a massive recall, a U.S. company executive wrote in an internal e-mail: ‘We need to come clean’ about accelerator problems.

Irv Miller, Toyota’s group vice president for environment and public affairs, wrote: ‘The time to hide on this one is over.’ He went on to say: ‘We are not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet.’

The recently retired Miller wrote the internal e-mail as Toyota officials were on their way to Washington to discuss the problems with federal regulators.
