Quote
In an effort to stop companies like Halliburton and its subsidiaries from cheating our troops and stealing from Americans, Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND), introduced S.AMDT.4230 and attached it to the Defense Authorization bill currently being debated in the Senate. The bill was intended to improve contracting “by eliminating fraud and abuse and improving competition in contracting and procurement.”…
Dorgan’s bill – cosponsored by 17 Democrats and called the Honest Leadership and Accountability in Contracting Act of 2006 – was tabled by a roll call vote of 55-43, effectively rejecting the amendment. Every single Senate Republican voted against the measure to make the contracting process honest and impose penalties on those who break the law.

So what’s new? This is the same ol crap over and over, never gonna change Toker. Greed outweighs truth and justice for all!
