I am sure Cheney said he severed all ties with Haliburton and he probably even too the legal step to do so. However, do you honestly feel that having Cheney as VP did not have anythng to do with Haliburton getting millions and millions of dollars in no-bid contracts? No, it still counted for a lot and Cheney and family got their cuts of the money, too. Blind trusts or whatever, they got the money for their juice.
