Senate votes down "Truman Committee" to investigate war profiteering - Halliburton

Senate votes down "Truman Committee" to investigate war profiteering
Although Senate Republicans killed an amendment that would have established a special investigation into war profiteering by Halliburton and other companies by a vote of 53 to 44 today, they have pledged to investigate Halliburton before the end of the year.
....

The vote went down straight party lines; all Republicans voted no, all Dems voted yes. Alexander (R-TN), Corzine (D-NJ), and Inouye (D-HI) didn't show.
