TPM:EXCLUSIVE: CIA Nominee Hayden Linked to MZM
http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/000581.php
While director of the National Security Agency, Gen. Michael V. Hayden contracted the services of a top executive at the company at the center of the Cunningham bribery scandal, according to two former employees of the company.

Hayden, President Bush's pick to replace Porter Goss as head of the CIA, contracted with MZM Inc. for the services of Lt. Gen. James C. King, then a senior vice president of the company, the sources say. MZM was owned and operated by Mitchell Wade, who has admitted to bribing former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham with $1.4 million in money and gifts. Wade has also reportedly told investigators he helped arrange for prostitutes to entertain the disgraced lawmaker, and he continues to cooperate with a federal inquiry into the matter.

1. It does not matter
None of the Democrats on the "Intelligence" Committee will bring it up. Damn I hate being so cynical. :(

There are many more, unfortunately.

Thanks for the heads-up, w8liftinglady!
