You're not wrong at all. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 07:56:25 PM
My assumption, and I am very open to being corrected, is that Cheney had no particular ideological belief connected to the petrochemical industry.

Change your words to "Cheney" and "Halliburton" if you want to see them all switch their replies. LiterateDog - 04/11/2009 03:29:32 AM 513 Views
