I need proof Cheney is profitting from Halliburton's Iraq/other deals.

[abrock]

Does proof exist? If so, gimme, and quickly.

1. Sorry..don't have a link.

But it is undisputed that he is profitting..because he has a deferred compensation deal....that involves stock options...

[wurzel]

2. Where do you think he will go when he is kicked out of office?

The deferred compensation also helps him with his taxes.

[alcuno]

3. Yes, but that's not a direct link.

The question is who will Cheney be working for when he is out of office.

4. We all know he's profiteering, but I need PROOF.

Or at least some kind of documentation about the stock options.

5. Here you go...

Halliburton is raking in millions in Iraq and Cheney benefits because of his continued connection with Halliburton in the area of deferred compensation ergo he is profitting from Iraq because Halliburton profits.

CBS/AP) A report by the Congressional Research Service undermines Vice President Dick Cheney's denial of a continuing relationship with Halliburton Co., the energy company he once led, Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Thursday.

The report says a public official's unexercised stock options and deferred salary fall within the definition of "retained ties" to his former company.

Cheney said Sunday on NBC that since becoming vice president, "I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years."

Democrats pointed out that Cheney receives deferred compensation from Halliburton under an arrangement he made in 1998, and also retains stock options. He has pledged to give after-tax proceeds of the stock options to charity.

8. Sorry. No proof exists.

Gimme? Quickly? Guad I love the fucking internet.

Cheney is receiving around $130,000 a year in dividend income, which is spare change for him.
