Cheney Took in $178,437 from Halliburton in 2003


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney received $178,437 in deferred pay last year from Halliburton, the Texas oil-field services company he once headed that has received billion-dollar government contracts in Iraq
Cheney's office said the income from Halliburton -- which was close to his salary as vice president -- was in no way linked to the financial health of the company. A Halliburton subsidiary is under investigation for possibly overcharging the U.S military for fuel supplies in Iraq.
Cheney has taken some criticism from Democrats for his connection to Halliburton, which is the U.S. military's biggest contractor in Iraq, responsible for everything from preparing meals for U.S. troops to repairing Iraq's oil infrastructure.
The company has been a lightning rod for criticism during this presidential election year due to allegations it received lucrative contracts because of its ties to the White House.
