Today Defense contractor Kuchera Industries was raided by federal agents. It is unclear why they were raided, but it is interesting to note they have very close ties to Rep. Jack Murtha.

In '07, NR did a column on the relationship, which included this:

"FEC records show that Kuchera's top officials proceeded to donate more than $45,000 to Murtha and his PAC over the next three election cycles, and an analysis of Murtha's recent fundraising efforts shows an even more dramatic increase in Kuchera's contributions."
