SnT in response to your question. It has been documented by numerous sources that Halliburton did business with Iran when Cheney was CEO, in violation of embargos in place. Cheney himself admitted they did business with Iran, arguing it was legal because it was through a foreign subsidiary. Technically it was legal. However, it was proven,at least to my satisfaction, the foreign subsidiary was nothing but a mail drop in the Cayman Islands solely designed to circumvent the law. IMHO, I found the actions bordering on treasonous. It should also be noted that Cheney's leadership damn near bankrupt Halliburton. Even so, Cheney continued to collect $6,000,000 per year in deferred salary from Halliburton for years after becoming VP.(maybe still does) And Halliburton continued to receive "no bid" government contracts for every war and hurricane that came around. God help the poor SOB who challenged any of their bills.
