" In 'Meet the Press' last Sunday, Vice President Dick Cheney said,

'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 interests. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of

any kind and haven't had now, for over three years.' That is the

latest White House lie,' " the Boston Globe's Derrick Jackson

writes. On Tuesday, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) drew attention

to Cheney's US Office of Government Ethics public financial

disclosure sheets. According to the filings, Cheney received

$162,392 in deferred salary in 2002 from Halliburton, the oil and

military contracting company he ran before running for vice

president. In 2001, Cheney received $205,298. He also is still

holding 433,333 stock options. " Five years ago, America was in a

tizzy over President Clinton's 'That depends on what the meaning of

is, is.' That was over lying about sex. For that, Clinton was

impeached. Now, we have a vice president who tells America he has

severed his ties even as his umbilical cord doubles his salary. To

him, it depends what the meaning of i$, i$, " Jackson writes.

Halliburton has already amassed $2 billion in no-bid, no-ceiling

contracts in Iraq.
