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.

Exactly who are you claiming shot Ron Brown?

Don't have clue! (Well, I have a wild hunch, but that's worthless). Why, am I supposed to know that?

Please, I hope this isn't one of those circuitous arguments that is similar to someone telling the police they shouldn't be suspicious that somone gunned down was mudered simply because they don't have a suspect. If so, tell me now, because time is too precious to waste on discussions at that inane level, and I'm about to spend some precious time gathering and collating info.

Dating is overrated. We lost everything when we lost the concept of courtship. Not real sure it can ever really be re-instituted, either.

As you've already been told, the thread really isn't about you. JimRob already told everyone to behave.

Unless you want the thread to be about you, why don't you just drop it? Warning: if you want the thread to be about you, can't necessarily expect everyone to post All Good Things.

Ever listen to Carly Simon songs?

Actually I"m sure there are a few here that would like to see the docket sheets posted on some of these "eww" suits. The filing gets a big fanfare with a press release using a quote or two and very little again except for some motion rulings, maybe. So to really see what the status of the 90 plus suits are would be interesting.... The Court Dockets would be the route to go.

Night and have a good one......

Beckie, I have stopped posting to you, but you keep chattering at me.

Stop it or I will use your tactic of boo-hooing and complain about it.

The problem with dating nowadays, is that people aren't picky enough and they all too often do not date with life-long commitment in mind.

Do you ever have anything useful to say, or do you just follow FiJC around and lob stink bombs at her "enemies"?

"He was parodying your political activity as a Bush cheerleader..."

Oh, I see...that's why the remarks about my weight were relevant.

BTW, if those of us who take offense at criticism being leveled at Bush are "Bush cheerleaders", what do you call all you guys who can't take any criticism being leveled at Larry?

"Maybe he could afford the Holiday Inn Express now, I don't think it's a fleabag."

Maybe not to you.

You knock it off.

You have no place telling me what to do. If he wants to act like someone's knight in shining armor when he butted in out of nowhere, he 'll have to be big enough to be made fun of. Get off your holier-than-everyone-else kick.
