OIL FACTS

Please correct if any of these facts are wrong. How do Bush and Cheney and family benefit from oil price increases?
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0601-05.htm from prior to 9/11. It says ‘While Cheney’s assets can appear as low as $20 million, they are in fact much higher because just last year he sold his shares of Halliburton stock for $35 million and made an $18 million profit” An informant says it appears that Cheney did not sell his Halliburton shares at all and job Lynne Cheney holds (still) is with the neocon American Enterprise Institute.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12318056/ shows the 2006 tax return. Bush’s holdings are mainly from holdings from way back, in trust (oil connected), and mutual funds; Cheney’s are Halliburton.

When Cheney entered office, his Halliburton stocks were worth about a quarter of a million dollars. Now, because of Iraq and Afghanistan, they are worth about $10 million.

Could this be an extreme case of manipulating the market?

Is this a possible charge?

Maybe is is not about getting oil but upping the shares?
