Investigator, investigate thyself: More on the Cheney options in Robert Novak's column in the Chicago Sun-Times today: Influential Republicans are increasingly concerned about vice presidential nominee Dick Cheney's conflict-of-interest problems caused by the lucrative stock options granted him as part of his retirement from the Halliburton energy company. Cheney would like to defer any surrender of the multimillion-dollar options until such time that he is actually elected vice president, but GOP insiders fear that might not be enough. He might have to divest himself of the substantial sum of money now in order to allay any accusation that he will personally benefit in office from rising oil prices. The irony is that former Defense Secretary Cheney, in charge of vetting Republican vice presidential possibilities, did not sufficiently explore his own potential problem.
