Our friends at Taxpayers inform us that they’ve just posted…

The complete database of earmarks in the 2009 defense authorization report and bill. The Senate version of the bill currently under debate contains 435 earmarks worth $5.2 billion, a big jump in number from last year’s Senate authorization but a decrease in total value.

They posted an analysis and highlights from the bill here.
