12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."
How do you know that?
| By now, you may have read or heard that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Clinton appointee, Charles Rossotti, has attempted to audit Judicial Watch, and that they have demanded we turn over to them records regarding contributions you have made to us. (SEE ATTACHMENT, requires Adobe Acrobat). Please do not panic. First , I pledge that, pursuant to law, it will be “over my dead body” before I release your name to the IRS. Second, you deserve to know the whole story behind the unlawful IRS actions which we are fighting. |
BTW, nice dodge. You know very well that Klayman had a deal to share donor names and he reneged. He had to be sued to get the money they were owed.
Well, we all know that is not the sole and main reason the IRS is going after Judicial Watch. The IRS's target of Judicial Watch is purely political and JW has every right to fight it.
You talking about someone else's little brain is the most delicious irony I have ever encountered.
I've been thinking about when Cheney left Halliburton the entire day! I was thinking about asking somebody if they remember when he left. He left,officially,in July of 2000 but wasn't he helping GWB vet potential VP candidates sometime before that? I ask this because,if true then he would have spent very little time in his office prior to July.I read something on FR last night that said that Halliburton had changed their accounting practices in 1998 or 9? Need confirmation on that.One last thing,I find it hard to believe that Cheney or any CEO would have any expertise or spend much time in their accounting dept!
Until you disprove it, we're going to assume it's true.
BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I happen to like capitalism too, that is, capitalism practiced with business ethics.
Larry Klayman has always been an advocate of free-market economics. I believe at one time, he used to run a free-market educational foundation.
