Cheney may avoid some embarrasing business
With a co-defendant's guilty plea, the focus of a federal weapons case shifts back to its key figure, David Hudak of Vancouver, accused of amassing thousands of warheads and training foreign troops in counterterrorist strategies in Roswell.
Hudak, president of Roswell-based High Energy Access Tools Inc., or HEAT, and co-defendant Michael Payne were arrested one year ago when the missiles were found. Payne pleaded guilty last month, acknowledging that he helped train soldiers from the United Arab Emirates in marksmanship and counterterrorism.
The prosecution had asked to have any mention of US Vice President Dick Cheney or Halliburton excluded from the case, contending Cheney joined Halliburton after the missile deal was finalized.
Hudak was indicted on charges of having about 2,400 shoulder-launched missile warheads, of illegally exporting military services and of using explosive materials while committing a felony. Hudak was also accused of several firearms violations.
