sylvester, yes - Cheney was CEO of HAL then. >The Times report said that under Cheney's watch, Halliburton "altered its accounting policies so it could report as revenue more than $100 million in disputed costs on big construction projects" according to public filings, and that the company did not disclose the change to investors for more than a year. Halliburton's total revenue for 1998 was about $17 billion.<

Of course HAL is innocent until proven guilty and "will defend itself vigorously against these charges which are totally without merit". <G> I'm not saying HAL said that, but they could have.
