Truman gained fame and respect when his preparedness committee (popularly known as the "Truman Committee") investigated the scandal of military wastefulness by exposing fraud and mismanagement. His advocacy of common-sense cost-saving measures for the military attracted much attention. Although some feared the Committee would hurt war morale, it was considered a success and is reported to have saved at least $11 billion. In 1943, his work as chairman earned Truman his first appearance on the cover of Time Magazine. (He would eventually appear on nine Time covers and be named the magazine's Man of the Year in 1945 and 1949.) Truman's diligent, fair-minded, and notably nonpartisan work on the Senate committee that came to bear his name turned him into a national figure. It is unlikely that Roosevelt would have considered him for the vice-presidential spot in 1944 had the former "Senator from Pendergast" not earned a new reputation in the Senate -- one for probity, hard work, and a willingness to ask powerful people tough questions.

NOTE: this is not Monday-morning quarterbacking. George Bush came into office wanting to set a new tone. He refused to prosecute the Clintons for their crimes. Independent Counsel Robert Ray determined that Hillary's testimony before the grand jury was "factually inaccurate." That means perjury. So how was the favor returned to W? They have savaged him brutally and now plan two years of embarrassing hearings as they set the stage to take the White House in 2008. And who will take the White House? The woman who should have been prosecuted by his justice department. What a sucker. ================================== ================================== ================================== Report: Bush dropped ball in ethics probes Judicial Watch cites pattern of refusal to prosecute government corruption -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: March 29, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?
