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.

I hope Larry Klayman exposes lots of them.

Consider Klayman's record, I bet Cheney's not worried. I bet they had a HUGE laugh over this little gnat coming after them. And that is precisely what is killing Klayman.

Or if the "eWW" has nothing to worry about then get on with the IRS Audit. Gosh it's been what some three years now and he's still stalling. Heck it could have been over with and on to his more fruitful things but now he's amassing legal bills and needs the donors to cover for him..... Sheesh, just get the audit over with, especially if there's nothing to hide.

I'm looking forward to it

Check it out guys, Luis is now the Michael Moore of FR chasing Klayman around with a microphone! Do they skin rabbits in Florida?

"Larry and Me" by Luis Gonzalez.

The tale of an overweight Cuban activist chasing a successful Washington Attorney around the city of Miami. Will he ever get that cherished interview to ask the wealthy attorney Larry the question (through tears), "why are you picking on Bush and Cheney?".

He attempts to track down Larry during a hotel press conference to no avail. From the Yacht Club to the Golf Club, Luis takes us on a tour of the havens of the rich and powerful in his seemingly futile attempt to talk to Larry Klayman.

I'm convinced, Luis and Moore are in for the money and fame!!!

Are you refering to where you were accurately quoted, but you say misconstrued about your belief about government funded healthcare?

No, I wasn't able to follow it. But at least the graphic was about a political position of yours. The graphic at #218 on this thread was purely a personally belittling attack, as are the other comments made about FIJC after that.

Unlike others on this thread, I have a record of publicly chastising those ostensibly on the same side of issues as me for their conduct. Can't say I've seen the same from those on the other side of those issues.

And it's just all one-sided, right kristinn?

I didn't post to your buddy on this thread. She came out of nowhere and pinged her friends to ridicule me, calling me paranoid, among other "bullying and belittling" remarks.

And gosh, where were you to ping the authorities then?

Who do you think pays for the court systems in this country? It's your tax dollars at work, not the donors for 'eWW'. He's clogging up a court system that is already bogged down.

Maybe you had to be there. It's always a good idea to find the first spark to fully understand an attitude or response.

Hint: It was a response to something insulting.

Your ridiculous statement about some people on FR deserved to be belittled. Remember, ideas have consequences, as do crazy ideas concerning anti-George W. conspiracy theories.
