3. While they are at it can they investigate why Halliburton gets no-bid

contracts?

4. Great!..I hope they will also schedule investigations of Halliburton etc.

contracts and how things are being done in NOLA in the near future....

This bunch of crooks need to be examined closely and it MUST be brought to the public's attention, media or no media

5. As we saw with the Ohio Election, no subpoena power. :(

6. Dorgan for President!

This guy does such great work through the DPC. I'm not kidding.
He is "on it" with so many ways the United States is being undermined and corrupted.

He has had so much testimony and such great research via that committee...
he needs much more publicity.

Those committee hearings are way more informative and expose so much...
they should be broadcast live on CNN instead of this bogus dog and pony show called the "Roberts confirmation hearings".

Go Dorgan!

7. Welcome to DU!

Now let's get the ball rolling, Dems..............

peace.

9. The story is a bit misleading because it says they are investigating an em

employee of Halliburton when, in fact, they are investigating the demotion of a Pentagon contracting official who blew the whistle on Halliburton's no-bid contracts (Bunnatine Greenhouse).

This is fantastic news! Thanks for posting it!
