How many shares or stock options does Dick Cheney have in Halliburton?
459068
Cheney, who served as CEO from 1995 to 2000, continues to receive as much as $1 million a year in deferred compensation as Halliburton executives enjoy a seat at the table during Administration discussions over how to handle post-war oil production in Iraq.But the Halliburton story is more than just a simple revolving door tale. Even without the Cheney conflicts of interest, serious doubts remain about whether a company with a record like Halliburton's should even be eligible to receive government contracts in the first place. This, after all, is a company that has been accused of cost overruns, tax avoidance, and cooking the books and has a history of doing business in countries like Iraq, Iran and Libya.If Cheney did any soul-searching after dealing with authoritarian dictators and avoiding taxes, it certainly didn't affect his social circle. He continued his quest for power by helping to form the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) in 1997 along with a bunch of archconservative hawks such as Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Jeb Bush (the President's brother and governor of Florida). This organization's purpose is to ensure America's global dominance through strategic use of its military.

Freedom of speech is legal in America.  Strange how the CEO of Haliburton (VP Cheeney) stepped down.  Large overseas contracts used to go to Bectal Corp, however since the government said they would rebuild Iraq, Haliburton got the contracts and the U.S. blew up a lot of building. Thus creating a lot of work for Haliburton.   Sound fishy???   Not to mention Cheeney's gross income for 2005 was over 8 million dollars.

Peace and Love? Are you serious? We are there for the MONEY and nothing else...wake up! Does the name Halliburton ring any bells? We are in the business of EXPLOITATION not peace and love and brotherhood and all that nonsense. We practice WAR corporatism, and we are damned GOOD at it.

I think this is what you are referring to: \n\nBERKELEY, CA — A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." \n\nThe contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. \n\nTo date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. \n\nThese are interesting times.

Money. Cheney is still getting money from Halliburton. Bush's father works for the Carlyle Group, which owns quite a few defense contractors. In 2004, defense contractors donated $16,326,213 to candidates, 37% to democrats and 63% to republicans. In 2004, Halliburton donated $221,249 to candidates, 13% to democrats and 87% to republicans. Remember Randy "Duke" Cunningham? The Carlyle Group was his #1 campaign contributor, $78,040 since 1989, followed by Northrop Grumman ($74,250), Lockheed Martin ($74,219), and General Dynamics ($69,575), all defense contractors. \n\nCampaign contributions that large are not given without "strings attached".

look for Senator Waxman to look into this and other issues regarding military and defense contracts by spring 07\nThe republican controlled senate has only devoted 12 hours of testimony towards Haliburtons massive fraud this is totally unacceptable.\n\nChairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) has steadfastly refused to hold hearings on the issue in the more than two years since the start of the war in Iraq, despite — Collins says because of — multiple executive branch investigations of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. \n\n“We should not be in our committee spineless,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said in a recent interview. “We should go ahead and investigate this.” \n\nSince May 9, 2003, Lautenberg, a junior member of the panel, has sent five letters to Collins requesting hearings on various alleged misdeeds of KBR and Halliburton . \n\nIn his most recent letter on April 26, Lautenberg outlined several issues the committee could probe, including: \n\n• An April 2005 State Department report that found major cost overruns and “poor performance” by Halliburton on a $1.2 billion contract to repair Iraqi oil fields. \n\n• The Defense Department’s decision to override its own auditors when it decided in February not to withhold payments from Halliburton until questions about overcharges were answered. \n\n• Allegations by an Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower that Halliburton was unfairly and improperly awarded its no-bid contract with the U.S. government. \n\n• Findings by Pentagon auditors that Halliburton overcharged the government $61 million for gasoline imports in Iraq as well as $27.4 million for troops’ meals in Iraq. \n\n• Allegations that Halliburton employees received $6.3 million in kickbacks from Kuwaiti businessmen in exchange for subcontracting deals. \n\n• Allegations that KBR employees abandoned trucks, each costing $85,000, due to flat tires and other repairable problems.

Well...look at who is the biggest sponsor of BBC News, for example. Shell. Nortel. It's probably only a matter of time before I see Halliburton get their bloody mitts in there too! I've seen Halliburton adverts on both FOX AND CNN...

Bu$h Sr, defended the Saudi oil when he defended Kuwait from Iraq. Bu$h Sr. has many Saudi friends and his bussiness is oil. Cheney's bussiness is oil and government contracts to protect oil. Iraq was a Arab problem and the Saudis got Bu$h Sr. and Jr. to solve there problem. The Saudis also got the American tax payers to pay for solving a Arab problem. We need to mind our own bussiness and American tax payers have no business engaged in nation Building. Not one more American should give his life to Nation build in Iraq.

Halliburton is a corporation.  It deals mainly in the Oil Business, however large reconstruction contract were awarded to Halliburton to help in rebuilding Iraq.  There have long been questions as to the legality of the way these contracts were handled as Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Haliburton prior to his coming to public office with President Bush in 2001.  He is still receiving his severance, buy out, pension from them which has raised eyebrows as to the legality of these contracts, with the feeling that there may be a conflict of interest between the Executive Branch and Halliburton.  This has not been proven, however it does linger over he heads of the Administration.
