OK, how about this: hallibuton won it's Iraqi work on non-competitive awards. Who made these decisions about the contracts? The White House? They overcharged the US Gov. millions. I heard a rumor that Cheney received some of that $. Most of the deal was done in private meetings and Cheney won't provide the minutes of those meetings. So there's overcharges, we don't know where it went, Cheney is acting protective, it MUST be TRUE! I bet I can get a special prosecutor before the elections...
Now, I don't have any evidence, but why should there be anything "immoral" about putting this rumor out as a news story?
Hint: It would be wrong, immoral, to accuse Cheney without any evidence.
To use gossip and rumor to damage a political rival is taking one's morality to a very, very low level...perhaps to amorality. It is indicative of a candidate who does not wish to debate their record.

There were RUMOURS of over-charges and they were on the front-page of the NYTIMES. Of course it had to be pointed out for the zillionth time that "Halliburton, whom vice president Cheney was president of". Nah, no double-standard there.
