More About Bush Administration Ethics
A morality based on greed?

After my last post I read a little farther and hit a story about a U.S. Inquiry concerning, guess who-- Halliburton, Cheney's old company. I think I have reached the point theat nothing will surprise me about its actions. I can even visualize a headline "Halliburton Given a No-Bid Contract to Run the Entire Federal Government." Here are the highlights of its current shenanigans:

A federal investigation of Halliburton's pension plans has uncovered three violations of the law, including charging some costs of Halliburton's executive pension and bonus plans to the workers' pension fund, correspondence from the Labor Department shows.

The Labor Department concluded that Halliburton's actions violated federal pension law prohibitions against self-dealing and using pension money for the benefit of the company, as well as the requirement to handle pension money with "care, skill, prudence and diligence."

Does anyone remember initiated the so-called "Whitewater Investigation"? I believe it concerned the Clintons' involvement in a questionable land deal. Somehow that led to Monica's infamous blue dress--the basis of all the impeachment charges. Bush has certainly brought a new ethical standard to the White House: Greed is glamorous!
