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?

So are we going to make a rule that a company can't do business with the
government if somebody who used to work for them is in government? This will
solve the homeless problem you are so worried about. They can be government
employees.

As far as no bid contract. There really aren't that many companies capable
of fulfilling the contract if any other than H.
