The
Forgery Flap,
by Ray McGovern
Posted 7/14/2003, Source

"Equally
important, it was Cheney who launched (in a major
speech on August 26, 2002) the concerted campaign
to persuade Congress and the American people that
Saddam Hussein was about to get his hands on nuclear
weapons‹a campaign that mushroomed, literally, in
early October with you and your senior advisers
raising the specter of a ³mushroom cloud² being
the first ³smoking gun² we might observe.

by NEELA BANERJEE
August 8, 2003, The New York Times
"A
transcript of the July meeting shows that bidders
were concerned even then that Halliburton would
have a competitive advantage over other companies
because it was already working with the Corps of
Engineers in Iraq and helping to assess the repairs
needed at oil production sites and pipelines after
the war and years of an economic embargo."

Questions
on Halliburton Deal Under Cheney,
by JEFF GERTH and RICHARD W. STEVENSON
August 1, 2002, The New York Times
"At
issue now is whether Halliburton under Mr. Cheney
was aggressive enough in investigating the asbestos
liabilities it was taking on in acquiring Dresser,
and whether it adequately informed shareholders
of the risks at the time they were asked to approve
the deal." |

'Thieves
Like Us' - Cheney's Backdoor To Halliburton,
by
Chris Floyd
October
24, 2003, The
Moscow Times
"Let's
begin by following the money from the mounting pile
of dead bodies in Iraq to the silk lining of Dick
Cheney's trouser pockets. This month the mainstream
American press woke up to the long-established fact
that Cheney is still receiving oodles of boodle
in "deferred compensation" from his old
firm, Halliburton, which just happens to be the
biggest gorger at the Iraqi trough." |
Will

and misuse of corporate assets." |
Dick
Cheney, Commander in Chief,
by Jim Lobe
October
27, 2003, Alternet
"The image of the president of the United States
as a tame horse, saddled up and ridden by his own
vice president, may seem overblown, but Biden is
not alone in his assessment of the White House's
internal dynamics. When it comes to foreign policy,
Cheney is increasingly seen as holding the reins
in the power circles within Washington." |

The
Halliburton Shuffle,
by BOB HERBERT
January
30, 2004, New
York Times
"But if you go through some of Halliburton's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
over the past several years, as I have, you'll see
a company that goes to great lengths - literally
to the ends of the earth - to escape paying its
fair share of taxes to the government that has been
so good to it." |
HALLIBURTON'S
BUILT-IN GOUGE,
by Jim Hightower
January 5, 2004
"But here comes the real stinker: Halliburton's
contract from the Bushites actually gives the company
an incentive to overcharge us taxpayers. It guarantees
a profit to Halliburton of between two and seven
percent of its costs meaning that the more cost
it can put into each gallon, the more profit Halliburton
gets." |

VP
Cheney Helped Cover-Up Pakistani Nuclear Proliferation
In '89 So US Could Sell Country Fighter Jets,
by Jason Leopold
March
8, 2004, Scoop
News
"Bush,
Vice President Dick Cheney and top members of the
administration reacted with shock when they found
out that Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan's top nuclear
scientist, spent the past 15 years selling outlaw
nations nuclear technology and equipment. So it
was sort of a surprise when Bush, upon finding out
about Khan's proliferation of nuclear technology,
let Pakistan off with a slap on the wrist. But it
was all an act. In fact, it was actually a cover-up
designed to shield Cheney because he knew about
the proliferation for more than a decade and did
nothing to stop it." |

Cheney
and HAL
by William Greider, The
Nation,
June 22, 2006
"A rather different story is told by a class-action
investor lawsuit against Halliburton, recently revived
after languishing for four years. It describes Cheney
as not much different from other corporate titans
ensnared by accusations of fraud. Brushing aside
facts and subordinates' warnings, CEO Cheney made
a series of daring but wrong decisions that were
disastrous for the company." |
