Is the noose tightening around John Murtha?
For months now, the Pennsylvania Democratic power-broker's name has been popping up in connection to a wide-ranging FBI investigation of defense contractors and lobbyists to whom he has ties. And yesterday brought more bad news...
Mark O'Hair, a former Air Force employee pleaded guilty (sub. req.) Monday in connection to getting a kickback from a defense contract that Murtha, who chairs the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee, had provided.

When it comes to Washington and Congress, the wheels of justice tend to move very slowly - if at all.
And Murtha is a very prototypical congress-critter.
One wonders how long it will take to get a pair of handcuffs on Murtha?
(I have no doubt in my mind that Murtha is by far one of the most corrupt members of a very corrupt Congress).
