This is common sense, but somehow when Darth Cheney influenced the Haliburton Exception.. which is stupid, the people have a right to know.
Quote:
In 2005, at the urging of Vice President Dick Cheney, Congress created the so-called "Halliburton loophole" to clean water protections in federal law to prevent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from regulating this process, despite serious concerns that were raised about the chemicals used in the process and its demonstrated spoiling and contamination of drinking water. In 2001, Cheney's "energy task force" had touted the benefits of hydrofracking, while redacting references to human health hazards associated with hydrofracking. Halliburton, which was previously led by Cheney, reportedly earns $1.5 billion a year from its energy operations, which rely substantially on its hydrofracking business.[8]

The U.S.-backed construction of a 47 kilometer natural-gas pipeline is being touted as a means of promoting "energy security" in the former Soviet republic of Georgia; the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), however, is not advertising the fact that a corollary beneficiary of this assistance package includes the Ras al-Khaimah (RAK) monarchy, rulers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) principality that owns the Poti Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) in Western Georgia.
USAID, on behalf of the Government of Georgia, this past week issued a Request for Proposals (Solicitation #KUAB47-GW07-PU-BID-00001) to provide tens of thousands of pipes, caps, and related infrastructure for the Kutaisi-Abasha project. The RFP did not state whether U.S. taxpayers partially or entirely will shoulder the cost of the equipment, nor did it disclose the estimated price tag of the assistance package.
Since it Obama I suppose this is fine with you?

NOte: Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) asserts that Cheney's options -- worth $241,498 a year ago -- are now valued at more than $8 million. The former CEO of the oil and gas services juggernaut, Cheney has pledged to give proceeds to charity.
Cheney told "Meet the Press" in 2003 that he didn't have any financial ties to the firm.
�Since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest," the Vice President said. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years.�
Cheney continues to received a deferred salary from the company. According to financial disclosure forms, he was paid $205,298 in 2001; $262,392 in 2002; $278,437 in 2003; and $294,852 in 2004.

“Richard Cheney recently cashed in options valued at about $35 million in Halliburton & Co. . . .[the Dallas oil-services company where he served as chairman and chief executive for five years before stepping down last month to become the GOP vice presidential nominee.]
“Mr. Cheney was one of five Halliburton insiders who sold a combined total of 859,232 shares for $45.09 to $53.44 a share, or about $45.4 million, between Aug. 10 and Aug. 31, according to First Call/Thomson Financial . . . . [which tracks trading activity among company insiders.]
“Mr. Cheney exercised options to sell 660,000 shares between Aug. 21 and Aug. 28, according to First Call. The sale, which was the largest by a Halliburton executive to date, insider-data analysts say, netted Mr. Cheney an $18.5 million profit after he paid about $16.4 million to exercise options. . . .[An option allows an individual to buy a stock at a pre-set, or strike, price. If the stock price goes up, that individual then can buy shares below market value.] Mr. Cheney exercised options at between $21 and $29.56 a share, and sold them for $52.28 to $53.93 each.
“Mr. Cheney also disposed of 39,200 company shares he held outright, worth $2.1 million, by transferring them to Halliburton for payment of a federal income-tax withholding obligation, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the end of August, Mr. Cheney held 189,800 shares outright, and 500,000 unvested options.”

Exactly, he sold off the stock BEFORE becoming taking office and 7 years BEFORE Halliburton moved thier HQ.
Thanks for proving my point HD
