the Daniel Hunter case...

Congress's chief opponent of legislation to revamp the intelligence community says he remains unmoved, leaving the White House scrambling this weekend for a solution to the impasse that has frustrated the bill's backers and raised questions about President Bush's clout among Republican lawmakers. For Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), the House Armed Services Committee chairman at the center of the logjam, the role is a familiar one. During 24 years in Congress, he has bucked Democratic as well as Republican presidents when he felt they provided too little money, equipment and weaponry for U.S. troops.

Why is this one guy willing to hold up the intelligence reform act??? Why is he so focused on keeping the control and command of intelligence gathering under the military and DoD? Well ask no more, it is all too simple..
These are figures for his 2002 and 2004 political campaign contributions... there are his top industry and top contributor numbers... all from the military-industrial complex... is he corrupt?? certainly!!!
