Owning GE is a No-Brainer - By Christian A. DeHaemer
There have been volumes written about the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney presidency and its connection with energy company Halliburton.
You may know Halliburton from such events as laying the bad cement which may have caused the BP oil well blowout that sent record amounts of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
It is no secret that former Vice President Dick Chaney was the CEO of Halliburton Co. from 1996 to 1998, and again in 2000. During that time, Halliburton moved from number 73 to 18 on the list of the Pentagon's top contractors.
Nor is it news that people with connections in government peddle influence and make deals.
Quid pro quo is the Washington way.
Never bring a knife to a gunfight when you can bring a subcontractor...
