Rep. Jack Murtha has made quite a name for himself by rabidly attacking our military involvement in Iraq. For someone who so opportunistically touted his own service during wartime, Murtha has not shown an ounce of respect for the men and women under fire in Jihadistan. He has accused soldiers of committing atrocities and the military brass of covering it up, and he has labeled the war strategy as incompetent and is looking for an immediate of all our forces from the region. Well, the anti-war Left that made Murtha their poster child might be interested in knowing that Happy Jack was the largest recipient of defense-industry dollars in the 2006 election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Jack Murtha was the largest recipient of defense-industry dollars in the 2006 election cycle.

Murtha used his political clout to get the U.S. Navy to move the Hunters Point Shipyard to San Francisco in 2004, while Nancy Pelosi's nephew was an executive of the company that owned rights to the land. In addition, Murtha's brother runs a lobbying firm that received more than $20 million from last year's defense-spending bill. Murtha also supported earmarks in defense-spending legislation that translated into millions of dollars worth of business for companies owned by the children of fellow Pennsylvania Democrat Paul Kanjorski. If all this still isn't enough to make you wonder about Jack Murtha's ethics, then think back to 1980's Abscam debacle, in which the FBI named Murtha as an unindicted co-conspirator.
