Should Congress appoint a Select Committee to investigate Dick Cheney?

Dick Cheney basically selected himself to be Vice President. Once bush jr took office, Cheney became for all practical purposes President. He made the decisions.

One of the things he did was to get Congress to pass a law limiting the EPA to pollution oversight only above the ground. They could do nothing below the surface. Cheney was the former Chairman of Halliburton which is the major company involved in Fracking. The EPA lost all control over that aspect of oil drilling.

One thing, no company involved in fracking will tell anyone is what fluids they use inside the well housing in the process of extracting natural gas imbedded in rock. Several different fluids are known in a general way such as case liners, and drill lubrication. The actual fluid pumped into the well that transmits the high pressure to fracture the rock is unknown. Above ground, used and contaminated fluids used and pumped out of both oil and gas wells are held in ponds. These fluids in these ponds are required to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Halliburton could be doing a little double dipping by charging other oil drilling rigs to carry away the sludge, then along with their own waste pumping it all down, to do the fracking. There is no way to predict which way a rock will crack so some of that fluid could go up and contaminate the ground water aquifer. That has happened in many areas.

So Dick was still working for Halliburton's interests while VP.
