Incidentally, I was surprised to hear that VP Cheney has over 400,000
shares of Halliburton options that are due when he leaves office in
2009. Isn't there at least a bit of conflict of interest there?


Those 400,000 shares were part of deffered compensation package from when he
worked there. Do you expect him to just give away $12.6 million dollars that
he earned?


Do you see any hint of a conflict of interest given the enormous
government no-bid contracts awarded to Halliburton?
