The oil company involved, Halliburton, is the company Cheney was CEO of..(incorrect English) It just stinks to high heaven that a contract was given to them...yeah, Cheney resigned when he ran for office, but that company must have given buckets of money to the Cheney-Bush campaign and you know how those politicians like to pay back their supporters. HOWEVER, there is a golden lining here...Halliburton did NOT accept the contract. Actually, there ARE people who have high moral standards. There may be hope for us all afterall.
