"...let me throw this out... Had the FBI, the IRS and the US Justice Department investigated Dick Cheney over the awarding of contracts to Halliburton then the indictments would sound just about the same, including all the bleepin' bleeps..." - Bobert.

I would throw that out too Bobert, as would "the FBI, the IRS and the US Justice Department". Much as though you would like to think that Dick Cheney awarded contracts to Halliburton - He, Dick Cheney did not.

Oh Bobert, while you're about it, on the awarding of contracts to Halliburton please tell us all if what is written below is true:

- In 1998 during the Clinton Administrations second term, Halliburton were awarded a five year Frame Agreement Service Contract with the Pentagon.

- That contract was awarded as the result of a "Competitive Tender" process.
