"People are charging now that Dick Cheney is the reason Halliburton is getting these contracts. I note that Dick Cheney was not part of the Clinton administration but contracts were still given to Halliburton."

Old Man, if you can't see the inpropriety of this, then what can I say.    It is one thing for Cheney to receive the contract when he was not connected with the awarding of the contract. For Halliburton to get a contract with the Bush administration when the Vice President will be making a profit is just unethical. Cheney can't have it both ways. He should either step down as VP or not be allowed to receive a penny from Halliburton.

"Fair and Balanced right?"

Obviously the Right sees it as fair and balanced. The rest of us do not look at this with blinders on.
