The Pentagon is getting rid of a pork barrel project it opposed for years -- the C-130J. A favorite of former Rep Newt Gingrich when he was House Speaker because the plane was built near his district. The Pentagon says the costly version of the venerable C-130 workhorse has a poor track record of performance and reliability. The Defense Department has announced the C-130J program ends once and for all in 2007. (LAT) [Photo Credit: US Air Force]
