Now that Cunningham's admitted to being bribed, what's the status of MZM

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

and it's contracts, and it's head/founder and chief "Duke" bribery officer, Mitchell Wade? :shrug:

This guy looks awfully familiar to me, like I'd met him, possibly when he was still active duty Navy or something...

1. Indicted co- conspirator

[Richard Steele]

2. That guy looks like a composite photo of other neoCons...

Have they actually released ALL the info
on just WHO was paying all the bribes?

Personally, I think ONE count of bribery
should get them BANNED from Gov. contracts FOREVER...
but it never happens that way.

3. Apparently MZM is doing over 100 mil worth of Pentagon business,

(of course almost all since the last few years with the help of their paisan on the inside), but it's apparently secretive "national security" "terrorism prevention" stuff, so good luck getting any scrutiny on what the taxpayer is getting for their buck from them.

It would seem a reasonable penalty for proven bribery for the contract to be immediately up for turnover with the bribing company not eligible to receive any government contracts ever again.

5. didn`t someone but them?

4. They'll probably get awarded a huge no-bid contract

Maybe this time they'll get to redecorate Bush's padded cell.

6. thank goodness Virgil Goode switched parties

... and, that he felt more comfortable with the GOP and its culture of corruption ... first, he turned "Independent", later joining the Republican Party in 2002.

I looked for an MZM website. Seems to be MIA. Nothing at SEC.gov that I could find. I wanted to see who sits/sat on the Board of Directors, and who holds/held 5% or more of the stock (Beneficial Owners).

If anyone is interested, the Center for Public Integrity has some MZM info http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q53B45D3C

Opensecrets.org has info on MZM political contributions.

7. I wonder if Goode and that DU favorite, Katherine Harris, were getting

any Duke-style "special treatment" beyond the usual laundered MZM PAC contributions?
