I think it was in LBJ's time that Haliburton started investing in politicians [cough]LBJ[/cough]. They went from being a road construction company to the very locus of evil in a pretty short time. Cheney was brought on board to increase government contacts, so lets not think of him as a businessman but rather as a politician owned by a business. I heard somewhere his compensation is being deferred until he leaves office,.. hate to have a conflict of interest between business and the needs of the Republic [sic].Remember how they lost control of Hitler? That won't happen this time.
