Now, our troops are learning about our Virgil:

Nor do past embarrassments seem to have slowed the process.  Last year, a classified  project associated with the Duke Cunningham scandal received a $3 million earmark. This year, the same activity saw funding tripled to $9 million.  Found and identified by Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) under the heading ?Classified Programs -- C3I,? a project labeled ?Foreign Supply Assessment Center? is ?earmarked? to receive the money in the R&D/Navy Title of the 2006 DOD Appropriations Act.  TCS further reports that Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., was the prime mover of this ?add-on.?

Of course, the pork is only part of the story.
