(CNN) — BP is accusing Halliburton of having “intentionally destroyed evidence” related to the explosion aboard an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that led to the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

The accusation comes in court papers filed by BP Monday in federal court in New Orleans as part of a lawsuit aimed at having sanctions imposed on Halliburton Energy Services Inc., which was a contractor for BP on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. An explosion on the rig on April 20, 2010, killed 11 people working on the rig and injured 16 others. The explosion led to more than 200 million gallons of oil being released into the Gulf.

BP alleges in its filing that Halliburton destroyed evidence on cement testing and violated court orders by not bringing forth “inexplicably missing” computer modeling results.

Isn’t this that same Halliburton that “Tricky” Dick Cheney was CEO of? Isn’t this the company that was the recipient of billions of dollars of “no competitive bid” work during all of the Middle East wars, the war that Cheney and his Vice President started? Same guy!

I don’t think that there can be a final number put on just how much money was made by Cheney and his gang. No wonder he has a bad heart. I would say that he has no heart for the role he played in the killing and wounding of our troops and putting the USA into financial ruin. One might be led to believe that the wars were started on purpose to drum up a few shackles for the gang.

I watched an interview with him a few months back and the guy tells his lies with a straight face. He is a real pro.

How can Cheney expect anyone to believe that he had nothing to do with Halliburton getting all the non-bid  work they received? Wanna buy some swamp land I Alaska?

Guys like Cheney are so blatant that they start believing the own lies.

From 1995 until 2000, he served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Halliburton, a Fortune 500 company and market leader in the energy sector.

Cheney’s record as CEO was subject to some dispute among Wall Street analysts; a 1998 merger between Halliburton and Dresser Industries attracted the criticism of some Dresser executives for Halliburton’s lack of accounting transparency.

Cheney resigned as CEO of Halliburton on July 25, 2000. As vice president, he argued that this step removed any conflict of interest. Cheney’s net worth, estimated to be between $30 million and $100 million, is largely derived from his post at Halliburton, as well as the Cheney’s’ gross income of nearly $8.82 million.

I guess when you have the kind of money Halliburton has in its’ coffers you do exactly what you want, when you want and how you want, letting the high-priced legal beagles hash it out.

Remember one important thing folks. No matter what the scenario is “it is ALWAYS about the money”.

“Us rich folks own the world, we don’t have to play by the rules”
