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.

"The problem is that it may appear to be different than what is really at the core of a feud and some look or pretend to be much more innocent than they are."

Then who, praytell, were you talking about. You and Howlin have said crap like this to me before.

It is the tactics and not the ideas that I have a problem with here.

So we don't express ourselves like you want us to, is that what you're saying?

Or do you object to the things we're saying? For instance, I have the "idea" that Larry Klayman took in 26 million dollars in 2000 and spent less than 2 million on legal fees.

And, btw, I can back that up with the 990 Larry Klayman himself signed.

What part of that do you objec to?

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

How about just staying out of it. Just a suggestion of course.

I will give you a truly objective opinion here..

The timing looks bad.. It looks real bad.

It looks bad for Larry Klayman.

I do not have a problem with legitimate questions such as that. You know what kind of tactics I disapprove of.

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

Good gracious. Is THAT what's worrying you? That somebody might not think you were good looking?

*Rolling my eyes*

He's been critical of Daschle's wife and her lobbying activities on behalf of the airline industry. Plus, if you have ever listened to his show he hits on Dems regularly.

BTW, if you can't find someone to skin a rabbit for your "Larry and Me" docu-drama, your welcome to swing up here and I'll clobber and skin one for ya. We can do up some rabbit fajitas.

so it's fine for you to ridicule Daughter on another thread today, and it's fine for you to ping people on one thread to make fun of Daughter on the other thread today, but if South says something to you, it's fine for everyone to pile on South?
Got it. Thanks. Man you guys are hip-o-crits. No wonder Klayman can decieve you so easily.

"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."

that is so obnoxious, rude, judgmental, and condescending that i cannot even believe that it was posted!!

I said: Are you joining Klayman in contending that the Democrats are all above board now? < You said: Did Klayman say that? If so, you got a link?

As a matter of fact, I do have a link:

Right here -- see if you can find ANYTHING citing any "corruption" concerning the Democrats
