That's true. But it still is a connection.

No, there isn't. Cheney took out an insurance policy to guarantee that payment. It totally breaks any connection. A standard technique used for resolving conflicts, one considered to be appropriate in practically all circumstances.

Besides, do you really expect that Haliburton won't even consider him for the BOD after he leaves office?

Well, what do you want to do about THAT? He is an administrative genius. I'm sure Haliburton (as well as a ton of other companies) WOULD like to have him back.

Please tell me how this is any more of a conflict than having a trial lawyer as a vice president?

Would you have us move to disallowing candidates who have ever held a job in the private sector?

This is an absurd position taken by the Left and amounts to nothing more than attack dog politics.
