Meanwhile, in other Dick Cheney related news, the U.S. Army said on Tuesday it had awarded $72 million in bonuses to Halliburton Co. for logistics work in Iraq. The Army said its so-called Award Fee Board in Iraq had met in March and had agreed to pay Halliburton unit Kellogg Brown and Root bonuses for work it did in support of U.S. forces there. Halliburton was run by Vice President Dick Cheney until he joined the 2000 race for the White House. The company has raked in well over $7 billion under its 2001 logistics contract with the U.S. military.
