<<Cheney's Halliburton Stock Options Soar to $9.2 Million>>

I have a question for the legal types......isn't it a complete conflict of interests for any politician to hold an equity stake in any company that can profit or loss from Government policy decisions? Is there a law to prevent this?

All of the obvious, public stuff on Cheney's compensation is there. Who knows or will ever know what sort of sub-rosa agreements he has with Halliburton on compensation for actions taken while in office, to be paid after he leaves office?

Cheney is the dream of the fascists realized.
