Cheney's Halliburton stock options rose 3,281% last year, senator finds
An analysis released by Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey found that Vice President Dick Cheney's Halliburton stock options have risen 3,281 percent in the last year -- worth $241,498 a year ago -- are now valued at more than $8 million.
Cheney told "Meet the Press" in 2003 that he didn't have any financial ties to the firm.
“Since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest," the Vice President said. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years.”
Cheney continues to receive a deferred salary from the company. According to financial disclosure forms, he was paid $205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004.

As an update to this story Cheney’s stock options are now worth more than $9.2 Million.
Cheney considers more than $9.2 Million in stock options and $740,979 in salary not having “any financial ties” to Halliburton which has received countless sweetheart no-bid deals from the Government despite countless occurrences of cheating the US taxpayers and poisoning US troops they are responsible for feeding.
Cheney said, "And since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, 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."
$9.2 Million in stock options and $740,979 in salary paid while he was Vice President of the US. Liar! Why isn’t the Corporate Mainstream Media alerting the taxpayers of this? Good question.
