you have recent info that Chaney has some kind of ties, stock or something in
some of the companies or something?
You mean other than the fact that he gave them the contract for the Kuwait cleanup while SecDef, then becoming it's CEO in 1995 - then merging it with Dresser Indus (Director - Prescott Bush* Yes..that Bush). CEO until 2000 - but he still receives Dividends through stock options from them. He got $36 mil in cash compensation for his 5 years on board plus an estimated $20m in stock options.
Sept. 14, 2003: On NBC's Meet the Press, Cheney said, "And since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company [Halliburton], gotten rid of all my financial interest. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years." But the vice president conveniently forgot to mention that he continues to receive from the company deferred salary of over $150,000 per year while maintaining 433,333 shares of unexercised stock options.
