Veep debate 1.2: Factcheck.com, the URL Cheney says will clear up all the confusion about his profiting from war and his relationship with Halliburton, is, well, something else ("the leading education site on the net," it's not affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania). Just like the bogus intelligence that launched this war, he fucked up. It's Factcheck.org. Some facts about Cheney and Halliburton: 1.) he made $44 million in the period just preceding his vice presidency, 2.) he collects deferred payments from Halliburton of about $150,000 per year, and 3.) he reportedly still owns $18 million in stock options. How can this company get a no-bid government contract without the appearance of a conflict of interest?
