	Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall November 28, 2005 11:54 PM
		In the 2004 election cycle, Goode's largest contributor was MZM; its political action committee and its employees, including Wade, gave a total of $48,551, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
		Goode was the principal sponsor of a provision in 2003 defense legislation that called for the creation of a military center in his district, known as the Foreign Supplier Assessment Center, which MZM was hired to run, said a senior defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity.

	Giving Virgil Goode benefit of the doubt - Roanoke.com
		U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode faces a challenge to his squeaky-clean image in the guilty plea by defense contractor Mitchell Wade, owner of MZM Inc.
		The MZM facility Goode helped shepherd to his district is the type of new-economy employer the region desperately needs.
		Still, giving Goode the benefit of the doubt, the most charitable conclusion that can be drawn from all of this is that, while not acting with corrupt intent, Goode allowed himself to be used by Wade and MZM, while remaining cluelessly incurious about his top donor.
