12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."

[FreedominJesusChrist]

sink,

Have you seen the latest JW press release?

[Mo1]

That is quite simply, none of your bidness Howlin. Nosy.

The info will come out .. it's just a matter of time

[Mo1]

little cocky tonight huh??

[FreedominJesusChrist]

It is none of YOUR business who contributes to Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch supporters want their privacy protected and respected. Larry Klayman knows that and respects this wish--good for him.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I am not a cocky person.

[Howlin]

Another fact filled response from you.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Thank-you. I do not mind putting in my 2 cents worth.

GO JUDICIAL WATCH, GO!

Neither does the majority of this thread. You should be used to it.

If you'd rather, I could post a list of past legal cases for you to read in your spare time? Regardless if they have anything to do with the original article post either.

Call it a post to show how the media can spin any story to make Bush or Cheney look bad vs one that tells the story with facts.

Larry being the master spinner would rather use headline grabbing lines such as the ones posted in the Wolf Blitzer interview. All hype for attention. Attention = money.

The way he throws around accusations on television is extremely unprofessional.

A good judge would smack him for it, (figuratively of course).

Just look at the judge that railed against the attorney that showed up and blabbed on Gretta's show re the dog mauling case.

A professional attorney doesn't try his case in the media by spewing the dem talking points.

I'm surprised you believe this is an acceptable practice. I always gave you credit for being more intelligent than that.

[Mo1]

When Klayman decided to file suit against our Vice President .. it became my business

You got a problem with that .. then may I suggest you stuff it in your hat

This info WILL come out .. mark my words

[Howlin]

“It is now confirmed by Halliburton itself that Cheney had a ‘hands on’ role in the financial management of the company. Mr. Lesar’s admissions reinforce the strength of our lawsuit,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

I think it's hilarious that you post these HORRID press releases, written by Larry Klayman, quoting Larry Klayman, to back up a lawsuit filed by Larry Klayamn.

We can ALL read his words up the thread; he is, plain and simply, a documented liar. Nobody believes a word he says.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

And where is my favorite super Bush supporter?

Where is deport?

[terilyn]

"But what really strikes me as strange is that you're saying someone's above the law, that they're not held accountable."

Well, Larry being the expert and all...

[Howlin]

Isn't that from a Newsweek article??

Aren't you funny. :-)

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"A professional attorney doesn't try his case in the media by spewing the dem talking points."

And wanting honesty in business is a "dem" talking point? That's new to me.

[Iwo Jima]

Sometimes adults have other matters which they must attend to.

[Mo1]

LOL .. Well it looks like Larry just copy and paste it ..

[terilyn]

"The leitmotif of Larry's comments is that he was on a fishing expedition because it was possible that Cheney could be tarred with something, probably due to the work of the SEC for which Larry could take credit for, if and when it occurs."

Great post.

From Larry's past ventures into the courtroom, I'd say this is S.O.P.

[Fred Mertz]

I've been out of pocket for a few days.

I say, let the chips fall where they may.

If they tumble down on Larry Klayman's head, so be it. But he seems to have the Veep's office referring all calls to Halliburton, and Halliburton's CEO seems to have confirmed JW's point of view.

Halliburton is trying to distance itself from the Veep. I wonder why that is?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

And how do you know Larry even writes these press releases?

Like I said before, whoever writes these press releases does a good job.

The only reason you are calling Larry a liar is because you don't agree with him.
