You said Cheney's former employer. Well, he is not employed by them, but holds a lot of stock in them. That is why he doesnt want to have them get a bad image b/c it could hurt his stocks. And b/c as VP he cannot touch the money till he is out of the White house, he needs to keep it up until he is out of office. That is 4 years!
Eventually, though, a given administration probably won't even care how it looks to have such conflicts of interest. America will increase its corporate mentality.
