Cheney still getting $$$$$$ from the company thhat over charged our government and served our troops rotten food

Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) received $178,437 in deferred pay last year from Halliburton, the Texas oil-field services company he once headed that has received billion-dollar government contracts in Iraq (news - web sites).

The White House on Tuesday released the 2003 income tax returns for both Cheney and his wife, Lynne, and President Bush (news - web sites) and his wife, Laura.

Cheney's office said the income from Halliburton -- which was close to his salary as vice president -- was in no way linked to the financial health of the company. A Halliburton subsidiary is under investigation for possibly overcharging the U.S military for fuel supplies in Iraq.

Nope, no conflict of interest here, none at all.
