Cheney, Halliburton, Arab polls

I'd say John Edwards had ol' Cheney cornered on Halliburton (and lots more) in the debate.
Here is some pertinent info from the 10/18/04 edition of The Nation:
"Halliburton has been experiencing a growth spurt ever since Cheney passed through the revolving door of Washington politics to set up the Administration he manages for George W. Bush. The Texas-based corporation moved to number one on the Army's list of top contractors in 2003, pocketing 4.2 billion taxpayer dollars last year alone. It got one no-bid contract after discussions in which Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was involved. Despite soaring revenues, however, the Halliburton unit doing work in Iraq is plagued by so many problems, from mismanagement to allegations of corruption, that it may be spun off to try to salvage what's left of the parent company's reputation."

Meanwhile, the Isolationist President has the following favorable ratings: Egypt, 2%, Saudi Arabia, 4%, Morocco, 11%, United Arab Emirates, 14%, Jordan,15%. (Newsweek Online, 9/30/04)
