The moral of the below: If you can't join them, beat them. Reddit readers have dug up an article by Jason Leopold [http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/2-halliburton-charged-with-selling-nuclear-technologies-to-iran] alleging that Halliburton, of which Dick Cheney was CEO in 1995-2000, and which did business in Iran until 2007, supplied Iran with equipment that could have been useful to its nuclear program. Among Halliburton's Iranian partners was Cyrus Nasseri, who was also a point man in the Iranian nuclear program. Leopold's update shows that Cheney lobbied intensively on behalf of Iran in Congress in the late 1990s. (He also tried to get the boycott on Saddam Hussein's Iraq lifted). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
