Defense Furniture

So former Congressman Duke Cunningham pled guilty to taking over $2 million in bribes. One of the main bribers was MZM, Inc., a "defense and intelligence firm" that received sweet contracts in exchange for the money and gifts they lavished on the Duke.

As it turns out, MZM has also done some business with the White House.

O]ver the past three years it [MZM Inc.] was also awarded several contracts, worth more than $600,000, by the Executive Office of the President. They include a $140,000 deal for office furniture in 2002 and several for unspecified “intelligence services.”

The question everyone's asking, of course, is why a defense and intelligence firm is being contracted for office furniture.

Sure seems a little odd, don't you think?
