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've never really agreed with Southetc. political views, but I have had some pleasant Freep mail exchanges with her in the distant past, and I have to say I'm disappointed in some of her posts to you today. I'm a little embarrassed for her, actually.

I think a poster with a radio show who posts that he intends to go to the press conference to ask questions for his radio show is availing himself of said activity being parodied.

It's the FR radio show, for goodness' sake! So now you want to parody FR radio?

Why don't the rest of us parody the DC Chapter's activities? Would you think that was fair game?

I'm not trying to get smarty, here, but that single question (the first question I ask above) alone seems to incite further curiosity, doesn't it? I would love to get back to you regarding ROn Brown, if I do get a chance (I'll be travelling for a week starting in about 4 hours, so it will be iffy).

I'll be very patient about all of the details, but before you go, just tell me:

Exactly who are you claiming shot Ron Brown?

Larry Klayman and Terry McAuliffe. Is there any difference between the two? Genuine scum of the earth.

I was just joking.

There is a difference between speaking your mind and bashing IMHO. You have legitimate complaints (may not always agree) and you speak your mind AFTER reading what was said. The AFTER is the key word that separates the two in my mind.

Have been on threads that people start bashing about an entirely different thing then the thread is about and when asked to start their own thread, you get called the Gestapo! Now those folks I classify as Bush Bashers!

Yeah, well she was also implying in her posts that I am not good-looking enough to get a date or to be datable.

Again, you speak as if you have authority on who I really am, when in fact, it is obvious that you have no clue.

I beg your pardon. You have asked me not to post to you and I have obliged. However, I will not continue to do so, if you post to me.

The post you referenced with your comment above was not addressed to you, nor did it mention anything about you.

If you saw yourself in a particular description, that's your problem. You need to deal with it and not trail off into some nonsense drivel like the above quote.

ned, check the archives. You'll find so much Ron Brown you'll be oozing it out your ears after a minimal search. Or start a Ron Brown thread, that would work too.

Why don't you grab your broom and go join howling on another thread. Just a suggestion of course.

"Americans now tolerate official corruption, as long as their favorite Party is at the helm."

Could you please point me in the direction of a bit of "official corruption" by the Bush administration uncovered by JW?

"I like the fact that they dion't give a damn that most Americans hate them because they are not partisan."

Do you believe that it's purely coincidental that while Clinton was in office, all of Larry's lawsuits and press releases pointed to criminal and/or unethical behavior by the Democrats, and now he's done a complete reversal?

There isn't a single press release in the Judicial Watch site critical of anything that Daschle and the Democrats have done since Bush took office.

Coincidence? Or calculated fund-raising tactics...
