Supporting terrorism
New York City's controller accused Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney's "former" company Halliburton yesterday of taking "blood money" from state sponsors of terrorism, such as Iran and Libya.
William Thompson said cops and firefighters are "outraged" that US firms are getting fat off contracts with nations like Iran, which funds Hezbollah and Hamas and is suspected of giving sanctuary to Al Qaeda leaders.
Since Iran and Libya are labelled terrorist states by the US, American companies are banned from doing business with them. But Halliburton, GE, ConocoPhillips and others have set up off-shore mail drops so they can "skirt the laws."
Honor, integrity, accountability.
Oh, and speaking of which...
Scalia "hopelessly compromised"
Antonin 'Fat Tony' Scalia and Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney are hunting buddies. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 'But Cheney is fighting in court to keep the records of his energy policy task force secret. And Scalia is a justice of the Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear the case.'
And by the way....'who paid for the private jet that whisked Scalia to Louisiana? The [LA] Times said it was the owner of an oil services company.'
