FBI Investigating Multi-Million-Dollar Defense Contractor With Tax-Exempt Status In Congressman's Hometown

Payback for not backing the military ind complex-selected out of the crooked group!

Corruption, waste & outright fraud are rampant in defense etc. contracting and have been for a long time, but never greater than Bush&Cheney admin. with the war they created in Iraq with lies -which has enriched many a contractor, especially Haliburton, and bankrupted the American people. That bottomless deficit you see is thanks to them .
In return, US soldiers got inferior equipment and services to fight an impossible "war" and neglect for the injuries they suffered, while much of that money disappeared, unaccounted for. The real reasons B&C wanted that "war" have not yet all been exposed, but it sure was never really to free Iraq, destroy Al Qaeda or make America safe.
Let's not forget what the lobbyists & GOP dominated Congress did for us, too - taking campaign contributions, pay to play, bribes & favors to new heights while they shut down Congressional ethics committees & investigations so the corruption could continue unchecked. And, so many of those "fly boys' from prior wars felt "entitled' to profit, like Duke Cunningham. Then there were those 'earmarks' which became so handy
since they could be easily hidden.
All who took advantage of their positions as elected reprsentatives, who betrayed our trust & squandered our money , should be held accountable, investigated and prosecuted appropriately. The corruption has been widespread. We must learn how this happened so that it never again can happen on such a large scale. The American people must ask the questions, demand honest answers and not be so complacent and easily led, especially into wars,

Mr. Murtha is just another long time Washington politician whose conduct discredits his position to the degree that it would be better if he was NO LONGER a representative!

I find it very difficult to believe this defense contractor should have a tax-exempt status!

I also hold the same opinion of certain religious organizations who 'hide behind God' while their preachers give political lectures to their congregations, send out fliers regarding voting, hold fund-raisers for candidates, drive parishioners to the polls, etcetera!

Tax-exempt status ought to be taken from all businesses and organizations that are ABUSING it's intent!!!

Ho hum. The score is still **ZERO**.

Zero people have received a prison sentence for crimes related to the current financial crisis.

I would love to see this disgrace go to jail. He threw military members under the bus for his own political gain and when they wanted to sue, hid behind his office. He owes those he slandered an apology but he doesn't have the guts. Typical Democratic left loon. Speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

bye bye those marines you tarred and feathered have been found innocent, it will be a hoot if you end up in the brig instead!

Was Murtha and Clark lovers?

A law is a law and the people that try to bend the laws are called lawyers, but sometimes they just go overboard!

Attention Bush-hating liberals - hello? hello? where are you? Guess they're hanging out elsewhere tonight.
