Okay, this is getting bizarre. John McCain delivered a eulogy for this "Mark Bingham," but in the very same speech, he says that he never knew Mark Bingham, but that he remembers meeting Mark Bingham, and that he knows Mark Bingham was a "great person."
Well, I went over to opensecrets.org to look up donors (http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/index.asp). Wasn't able to find any contributions coming from a Mark Bingham. Tried different combinations, such as just using M, instead of the whole first name, and everything. However, I tried searching without putting in a name for a donor at all and plugging in just the words "Bingham Group" for the occupation field. Searched in different election cycles as well. VERY ODD results. Look what comes up:

What is interesting is, you won't find any mention of James Bingham anywhere in in regards to Mark Bingham - nowhere that I know of. And contributing to Pat Buchanan? Wasn't that "Mark Bingham" supposed to have been gay? Are there like two or more Bingham Groups, you all think? And speaking of Hopsicker, I remember reading in one of his books that the classic CIA/intelligence community strategy is to make all sorts of corporations with the same or similar names.
And the only Bingham to McCain contributions I could find, just so happened to be H. Raymond Bingham:
