VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY SUED PERSONALLY FOR ALLEGED STOCK FRAUD

Alleged Fraudulent Accounting Practices Occurred At Halliburton

PRESS CONFERENCE
Date: July 10, 2002
Time: 9:00 A.M.
Location: Sheraton Hotel Parlor 1, 495 Brickell Ave Miami, FL

(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the group that investigates and prosecutes corruption by government officials, announced today that it is filing a shareholders suit in Dallas, Texas, against Vice President Dick Cheney and the other involved directors of Halliburton, as well as Halliburton itself, for alleged fraudulent accounting practices which resulted in the overvaluation of the company’s shares, thereby deceiving investors and others.

The suit comes one day after President George W. Bush, who himself is enmeshed in allegations of insider trading when he was an executive, who sat on the audit committee of Harken Energy Company, announced a “plan” to crack down on corporate fraud. Ironically, it would appear that the President’s rush to propose more regulation of private industry is intended to deflect attention away from his and his Vice President’s own alleged improper business practices. President Bush has maintained that he was cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Others have countered that the head of the agency was then an appointee of his father, President George H.W.Bush.

President Clinton and the Democratic Party used a similar gambit when they were caught taking money illegally from foreign donors, including the Communist Chinese. Instead of prosecuting vigorously the Clintons and other guilty politicians, new campaign finance laws were proposed to deflect attention away from alleged crimes.

“Whether it is the Enron, Arthur Andersen, Global Crossing, or now the Halliburton and Harken scandals, there is a dangerous intersection between politicians of all stripes, Democrat and Republican, attempting to feed at the trough of business greed. As is true of the Clinton scandals, the American people cannot look the other way just because the President and Vice President are allegedly involved. Indeed, Judicial Watch has already sued Democrat and Republican officials in the Enron and Global Crossing scandals. To look the other way for the Vice President would be to set a precedent that the Washington elite are above the law. This cannot be permitted if our democracy is to survive,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

In 1995 Halliburton was prosecuted and forced to plead guilty to trading with Libya, a terrorist state on the U.S. watch list.

A press conference will be held in Miami at 9:00 A.M. at the Sheraton Hotel at 495 Brickell Avenue to announce and detail this suit.

Well, that, too, but I actually snagged the wrong one!

It won't be hard to create a client-shareholder if Harken is publicly traded, but I don't know anything about the company.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well, I thought she was giving neighborly advice on love and stuff. Maybe she cares about you, ya know? You sure can't think JW does. If you do, you are now dubbed

FITB

[Howlin]

Deport, Cats has noticed that Klayman has dropped the the non-profit educational foundation from his lead in.

Now, I ask you this because you have the numbers, how much money did Klayman claim to have spent on "education" in 2000?

And now that he's not the non-profit educational foundation what will that do to his IRS AUDIT????????

[deport]

I am sure. ;-)

LOL .... Are you sure that you are sure.... But then I'm not sure that you are sure. So who or whom is sure that you are sure........ Oh I know, the girl can't help it of that I'm sure.....

[Iwo Jima]

Pardon me while I take a break and surf some federal court docket sheets. I'll report back if I can find the name of the client.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"Well, I thought she was giving neighborly advice on love and stuff. Maybe she cares about you, ya know? You sure can't think JW does. If you do, you are now dubbed"

I, quite simply, do not want that witch posting to me any longer.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And you, you poor soul, have no idea who you are "in" with, or you would RUN the other way. Maybe it's time to take some advice.

Pride goes before a fall.

Hope you and Larry have a nice trip.

[Howlin]

I couldn't figure out what Bush and Harken had to do with Cheney.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

*SNORT* LOL

[agrandis]

After reading the first 20 posts to this thread, I just see one excellent, well thought-out rebuff to JW's charges after another! Truly examining the whole picture here! Yes, partisan Republicans are reacting much more honestly and patriotically than the Clintonites reacted to charges against them. It's good to see.

</sarcasm>

[A Citizen Reporter]

LOL! They've gone from "non-partisan public interest law firm" to "non-profit educational foundation" to "the group"....

[Howlin]

I see you're disgusted when people criticize Larry. Should we just ignore him and his press releases, like the rest of the world does? You don't honestly expect us to sit back and read this crap and NOT TRY TO CORRECT IT, do you? Is that the way you want to play? If so, I bet you are disappointed in this web site.

Klayman will rue the day he messed with Dick Cheney. Cheney is an honest man by all accounts and doesn't take kindly to being called a cheat.

This "case" could very well be the end of Larry Klayman.

[Iwo Jima]

Come on, guys, I think that you are being a little bit hard on Rebeckie. Why not lighten up.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

JW was NEVER partisan. See if this 1st paragraph makes sense to you.

Okay, this will be my last post to you since you asked.

But I didn't want to leave before explaining a couple of things to you.

When my daughters were your age they were involved with dating, sports, socializing, traveling and all those things that make a person well-rounded. I'm worried that you are spending your precious youth on things that can wait for adulthood. It truly is not healthy.

A little is okay, but you are obsessed with a lot of these issues........way overboard !!! Go out and find a life that is fitting for your age.

I sort of got the impression that you have a hard time getting dates and even though I was joking with the picture, I thought a book on dating might be of help. I also remember that you like to read. You and a dating book are a natural pair.

[Miss Marple]

I am imagining a scenario in which the entire thing comes together in one grand fiasco in which a lot of people meet their match.

Cheney is smooth, and he has run a war. Klayman has picked the wrong guy to mess with.

[Slyfox]

This one makes me mad ....Tell Klayman to go $%!@#$ himself

Please, tell us how you REALLY feel.

[Amelia]

I, quite simply, do not want that witch posting to me any longer.

Oh, very respectful.

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

Just "Cain't-Heppit", I am sure.
