Jan. 11 - It's time for yet another Halliburton story - but not the
one you may be expecting. This isn't about the endlessly scrutinized
Iraq contracting business of the big energy services company that *****
Cheney ran before he became vice president. And it's not about
Halliburton's profit-boosting accounting change during Cheney's regime,
or the scandals and problems currently affecting some of the firm's
far-flung projects.
