Most here are aware or have heard of how Cheney "profits" from the Iraq war through Halliburton compensation checks.
Most here know he was CEO of Halliburton from 95'-00'.
But some don't know he was Secretary of Defense in 92' when the Department of Defense gave a Halliburton subsidiary millions of dollars to research how private companies can work with the military in war zones... right before Bush Sr. (and later clinton) cut troop levels.
But some don't know Halliburtons federal funding doubled when Cheney moved from Secretary of Defense to their CEO.
Most here know their stock was worth $20/share when Cheney was CEO, $5 before the Iraq war, and $37.45 as of today.
But something I don't know- Something you guys may know.
Was there anything that Cheney did as CEO of Halliburton (besides PNAC) that now seems devious? I'm trying to put together dots to see if there really is something sinister here - anybody already been down this rabbit hole?
