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."

I posted this on the other thread, but since the topic is apropo, I'll post it here as well:

Why is it so necessary to go after Cheney during a time of war?

Bush and Cheney are very popular right now, and their popularity has extended for a long, long time politically speaking. The Dems have tried everything in their power to put a dent in the positive image the American people have for this administration. Nothing has worked. Bush the blunderer, Bush the pretender, Bush the racist--all busts. You may recall that the big re-hash of the Florida vote was all set to go and then...darn! Sept 11 happened. The NY Times, et al, never got to display the banner headlines that Bush Was Never Really Elected. Bush rallied the nation and the nation rallied behind him. The glum Dems had to sort of go along with it for a while.

Tying Bush and Cheney to the corporate stock scandals is the last clear chance for the Dems prior to November. The House and Senate are at stake and the Dems are desperate.

So, this climate of combined hope and desperation among the Dems is perfect for a fund raising campaign. Klayman would be crazy to delay the lawsuit against Cheney. Those fund raising leters need to go, go, go and now, now, now. Stike while the iron is hot! In order to justify the plea for money, their has to be a cause, and the suit is the cause.

I don't expect to get one of the letters, but I could probably just about quote it. Go get one of Klayman's old eight or ten page missles about Travelgate or the Gore E-mail suit, and just substitute Bush and Cheney's name along with Enron and Haliburton, and Voila!-- You are ready to go after a whole new money-raising base to replace the one the one that dried up when Clinton left office.

To answer your question, it might be nice for Klayman to wait til after the war to sue the VP, but it would cost him millions...millions, I tell you!

And now you're telling deport that is part of it.

Words mean things...... even if they come from the PRs of 'eww' and/or his mouth pieces. Remember the girl can't help it........

When I click on "New Posts To You" or "My Comments" everything is fine until I scroll down to #367 by henbane, which is a page from another website.

The next reply from SamBees and all following replies are aligned so far over to the right that it requires a scrolling over to the right to see it all. There is something in the code for the imported page that causes this. I think it is conflicting with the new "Word Wrap" feature that John recently added to make it easier for non-HTML replies and generally more user friendly.

Madfly got caught on this a few days ago and couldn't figure out if she had brought a virus to the site, or what, for awhile. This time it's effecting IE as well as Netscape, but Netscape is goofed up far worse. I'm using IE version 6 and Netscape version 4.5.

paraphrasing, but darn close) "This is the reason for his existence. He only exists to sue people." --Mara Liason on Klayman yesterday on Special Report.

Mara Liason said it pretty darn well. And he doesn't care who or what it is. Like you said previously... show me ONE case he won. He is a joke. And I'm sorry I used to support him in his causes. But I can admit when I made a mistake.

Miss Marple, you said "My contempt for this man is reaching critical mass."

As I said previously on this thread. My "awareness" of this man started in the last couple years of Clintons Presidency. I started to voice concerns then. I would love to see Larry's books!! He will take money from anyone for anything. It is lawyers like him that give the profession the name ambulance chasers.

Our contempt of him has ALREADY reached critical mass.

FRegards!!

Of course it was. Cheney's a republican. It was on the front page of the pathetic little local paper here. J Watch sued Clinton or a memeber of the Clinton admin every day for five years and it never made the networks and very few papers. And when it was mentioned, JW and Klayman was dismissed as a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth right wing Clinton-hater. Now that Cheney is the target, the presstitutes call JW "a Washington based watchdog group"

[sakic]

We have seemed to reach an agreement. Congrats.

[Howlin]

This is a hands-on vice president. He is the de facto president. And he runs this country, in effect.

Can you even believe Klayman said that?

[Howlin]

Droll words can stand on their own without any needed interpretation.

Perhaps you should take your own advice.

[Howlin]

Well gee Larry, you bottom feeder, your the one who brought up President Bush in your press release about this law suit

I couldn't figure out why that was included in the press release about Cheney; Other than the fact that Klayman would LOVE to sue Bush but can't find anything to sue him for.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

No he doesn't. Does Texasforeverandever have copies of Halliburton's accounting books? If Texas doesn't, then why does he feel he has more standing on this matter than everyone else on this forum, or even Larry Klayman himself?

The fact of the matter is, Texas has not even seen the evidence yet or studied it, so when he gives Cheney and co. a clean bill of health, he basically doesn't even know what he is talking about.

[Miss Marple]

I believe someone mentioned that the Harken stock was converted to another company's stock, so it is impossible to find shareholders...most of whom were probably Texans in the oil business anyway, and their participation would fall in the "fat chance" category.

If there were ever any doubt that Klayman is working with the Rats, the use of the "Cheney is really running the country" line should confirm our opinion.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Not the Admin Moderator.

[Iwo Jima]

even Larry Klayman himself?

Even Larry Klayman himself?!?!? As though Larry Klayman is anything special. Texasforever knows standard construction accounting practices, and Larry Kalyman knows how to fleece people.

[Howlin]

This seems like the approrpiate thread:

DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT AGREE WITH LARRY KLAYMAN THAT GEORGE W. BUSH IS AN ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THAT DICK CHENEY IS THE DEFACTO PRESIDENT????

[Howlin]

Does Texasforeverandever have copies of Halliburton's accounting books?

Neither has Larry Klayman.

[Fred Mertz]

Bush is president but Cheney does the heavy lifting.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

How do you know?

[Howlin]

Larry Klayman hasn't seen any evidence yet either.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Cheney is a hands-on vice president. He is no Dan Quayle.

[Howlin]

Larry Klayman has NOT had access to Halliburton's records.
