US Vice-President receives income from War Contractor
Dick Cheney continues to receive money from Halliburton, one of the major contactors of the so-called "War on Terror".
Although declared as "Deferred Compensation" in Mr Cheney's 2001 financial disclosure statement, it is not clear how the payments ranging from $100,000 to £1,000,000 per year are calculated.

It was announced the other day that a subsidiary of Halliburton received a defense department contract to control oil fires, if Saddam Hussein sets the well heads alight; and this will put the Group in excellent position to bid for huge contracts when Iraqi oil is rehabilitated. KBR (the subsidiary) has already benefited to the tune of $33M for building the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

Dick Cheney retains $8M of stock options in Halliburton. He has arranged to pay any profits on these options to charity.

It is reliably estimated that Halliburton has made $2.3bn. from the government contracts while Cheney was Chief Executive.

We believe that Sept 11, was an outrage and that there should be no hiding place for the perpetrators of that foul deed. We believe Saddam Hussein is a war criminal, who should be brought to justice.

We do however, suspect the motives of the Bush government and it's apparent unilateral rush to war without regard to International Law.
