It's nice to know that while innocent people are being killed for the sake of a lie, our VP is making a handsome profit! When the New York Times is purchased by Rupert Murdoch, insightful articles like this one will finally be silenced:From 2001 to 2005, Mr. Cheney received “deferred salary payments” from Halliburton that far exceeded what taxpayers gave him.
