I don't think there needs to be a "proven" fact that Cheney has benefitted from Halliburton getting the no-bid contracts for Iraq "reconstruction" for there to be plenty of evidence of corruption and graft in this administration. I mean, duh! It is perfectly clear that Halliburton is the benefitted mightily from it's relationship with their former CEO being in the White House. Doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure it out, which begs the question: why the hell isn't the Kerry/Edwards campaign all over with that stinking, rotten political corruption story?

That sort of nepotism is as obvious in the case of Halliburton and Iraq, as it is with the energy policy task force shenanigans that has resulted in the Bush/Cheney give away/rape of public lands for energy development.

It is easy to prove. Look all around, it is all you see. Nepotism is the modus operandi of this administration, be it towards Halliburton in Iraq, Enron in Texas, the House of Saud everywhere you look, or everybody and their mother trying to open up the Rockies, the ANWR, for drilling in the US, etc etc...
