Jane, I'm no fan of frivolous suits and surely question the practice of investors suing companies for losses before charges of fraud are investigated. So do I agree with your charges that JW is jumping the gun here? Yes.

Conversely, I support anyone's right to sue anyone at any level at any time provided that a judge agrees that the suit has merit.

Jane, are you sure that the suit only involves Cheney? I believe they are suing the entire Halliburton board, plus officers as well as Arthur Anderson.

As far as his attacks on Laura Bush, I've not read them but will accept, on your words alone, that they are wrong and I therefore condemn them sight unseen.

Still I feel there is great use in DC for organizations like JW, who, instead of being used by the media to further their not so hidden agenda, are indeed using the media to promote JW's agenda. And that agenda is to represent the private citizen against the powerful in government.

Now we may disagree over whether Klayman has changed his mission statement to accommodate an ever-burgeoning ego, or that he truly believes Halliburton misrepresented its earnings to defraud the public (I believe the VP innocent of all personal involvement). That is what we ([sigh] used to) do here at FR.

Sorry to disagree with you...

I pray to God that all here at FR would disagree with me in the gracious, intelligent spirit of debate displayed by the ever-lady-like Miss Marple.

Oh, I agree that there is a need for a watchdog group. I just don't think we need this particular watchdog.

He obviously has an ax to grind, considering he is making comments on foreign policy and hinting that Bush could have prevented 9/11.

I encourage you to really look at all the press releases he has issued. I think you may have missed some things that changed a lot of opinion here.
