<<The most contentious earmark in the bill was an unclassified $23-million allotment to fund the National Drug Intelligence Center located Johnstown, Pa., in senior appropriator John Murtha’s (D.) home district. Last year, the House Government Reform Committee said the center should be shut down, and in his proposed budget, President Bush designated $16 million to close it.>>

I think that the new disclosure will evolve a far more intense reaction by the public than any of our senile legislators realize.

So why in HELL does it take $16m to lock the door, send everybody packing, and sell off the building?...
