Former Deputy assistant Secretary of State Reveals Lies (tags)
Excerpt: "The reason that I went public, the first thing that bothered me was [Halbitron] when Vice President Cheney was was given $35 million for all his knowledge in oil, which he had none of. He had been a former Secretary of Defense. Cheney had put in an embargo on Iraq and then he denied that he didn’t know anything about the embargo. They had violated the embargo by having a $75 million joint venture with Iraq. At that point I said, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Cheney was just outright lying."
