Here's more on the CunningScam from Cannonfire (which is now up)...
"I'm both gratified and frustrated. Gratified, because yesterday's post on the shadowy Brent Wilkes -- the man who bribed Duke Cunningham -- received a nice amount of attention. Frustrated, because the mainstream media still doesn't get it.

Take, for example, this story in the Mercury News:

In what would be an audacious abuse of that nexus of money, power and influence, two defense contractors now stand accused of bribing Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif. - a power on the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee - in exchange for top feed at the Pentagon trough. Cunningham resigned from Congress this week after pleading guilty to accepting $2.4 million in bribes, including a Rolls-Royce and a $7,200 antique Louis-Philippe commode.
That's fine, as far as it goes -- but the matter goes much further. Readers of the Mercury News will receive the impression that the companies which made the pay-offs have nevertheless provided useful services to the DOD.

That's not true. For the most part, we are talking about a series of fake companies under the control of one man: Brent Wilkes."

The Republicans have been up to some seriously shady *. Unfortunately, it's cost both US taxpayers and our military.

down to something we can get our heads around. I'd love to have more time to dig into it. But how about a high level to get everyone up to speed.

6. let me try


"we are talking about a series of fake companies under the control of one man: Brent Wilkes."

"the available evidence indicates that Wilkes' company existed primarily as a way-station for political pay-offs. "

"yet to discover any evidence that the other "defense-related" enterprises operating under the Wilkes umbrella were genuine businesses."

14. You ought to check those company weblinks.....
Nice frontpage graphics, no real content. All fronts.

Also, read Cannon's letter to Hopsicker at his site.
