deferred compensation is not a conflict of interest. he made the decision before his run for office, and receives nothing more or less should Halliburton tank or do well.

THAT is a non-issue, and attempting to make it into an issue makes us look like idiots, IMO.

Now, the Trust issue may have legs, but if it is a "real" charitable trust, with a valid charity that Cheney has no involvement in or renumeration for, then it is ALSO a non-issue that makes us look like idiots if we push it.

What we need is a REAL conflict of interest to bury him, and the full disclosure hearings proposed better make sure they will find something or it will look like another stupid pure politics play and actually HELP the Republicans, which is not what I'm after.

They have PLENTY of other issues to attack them on and I prefer not to give the Republicans an "out" on some issue that isn't supportable...
