Graft on the federal level--hell, on any level--is serious business.
When John Murtha's nephew gets a no-bid, defense contract worth $4 million, then it must be investigated. If anything wrong occurred, then the offending parties should pay the price.
But before we start jumping on $4 million, we must first investigate and prosecute the billions of dollars spent on no-bid contracts that went to Halliburton. We all know that Halliburton was the former employer of Dick Cheney and that Rumsfeld's defense department awarded those no-bid contracts.
Making matters worse is that Halliburton allegedly over-charged after short-circuiting the contract process.
I suspect that Republicans are doing everything they can to neutralize Murtha since he has a distinguished military career.
Let's do investigations all around.
