In this snippet, Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) tells his potential bribers, "I'll give you maybe a list of businesses...that would be very helpful to me..." Before he laid the groundwork for a "slow bleed" of U.S. troops in Iraq, Murtha agreed to do business with a fictitious Arab sheik whom Murtha thought was trying to bribe him. Murtha avoided prosecution for his role in the ABSCAM scandal by testifying against other Democrat Congressmen who'd taken the bribes. See more Murtha at http://jackmurtha.blogspot.com .
