In addition, the vice president has some 433,000 shares of unexercised Halliburton stock options, due to expire between 2007 and late 2009. Cheney has said he will donate the options to charities. But the options will have value only if Halliburton's stock price improves." So, if Deadeye's dreams of a windfall come true, any guesses as to which charity will receive those millions?
