WASHINGTON (CNN) - A congressional report concludes that, under federal ethics standards, Vice President Dick Cheney still has a financial interest in Halliburton, the energy services company he used to run.

The report, by the Congressional Research Service, came at the request of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat and former player in the corporate world who has pushed Cheney on the issue.

The report says that the deferred compensation that Cheney receives from Halliburton as well as the more than 433,000 stock options he possesses "is considered among the 'ties' retained in or 'linkages to former employers' that may 'represent a continuing financial interest' in those employers which makes them potential conflicts of interest."

"As this C.R.S. report shows," Lautenberg said, "The ethics standards for financial disclosure is clear. Vice President Cheney has a financial interest in Halliburton."

Am I supposed to be surprized?

Shocking...

I've just been under the assumption that it was true all along. Not much we can do about it right now eh.

And then there was Ronald Reagan who only escaped impeachment because he "couldn't remember" signing papers that gave detailed instructions for the sale of weapons to Iran and the transfer of money to the Contras, a terrorist organization.

Shocking indeed.
