Old Man - It is well documented, and confirmed by Cheney, that he receives 150,000 per year from Halliburton. He also receives stock options, which will provide a nice payoff of about 18 millino. Do your own research, a simple web search. Look for the New York article about it.

I never questioned that Halliburton does a good job, although I can see where others do.   Frankly, I agree with you, I don't think there is another company that could handle the job. Yes, they do overcharge the goverment (which is paid for by you and I), however checks and balances should take care of that. The use of Halliburton is not the issue.

What is at issue is the conflict of interest that Cheney has in his position. The FACT that people are quesitioning it is reason enough for him to step down or return the money.

What can you say about a man in a position of influence that stands to make a tidy profit from a war, and he controls the strings.    Surely even you can step aside from you conservative mindset and see that. If Al Gore tried something like that, you folks would soil your pants as you screamed "foul".
