http://store.publicintegrity.org/wow/bio.aspx?act=pro&ddlC=31One Cheney recruit recently in the headlines is Ray Hunt of Dallas-based Hunt Oil Co. Hunt is a longtime supporter of the Bush clan: he raised money for the elder Bush and later led the Republican National Committee's Victory Fund for George W. Bush, donating $20,000 to the committee himself. Bush rewarded him with a seat on his Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Hunt and his wife have donated more than $400,000 to Republican state campaigns, while his company and its employees have given more than $1 million to Republican causes since 1995. Hunt's son, a vice president in the company, served as an energy consultant to Bush during the campaign, and later as a member of the presidential energy transition team. Both Ray Hunt and Halliburton Co. are major donors to the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative think tank based in Dallas, the stated goal of which is to "develop and promote private alternatives to government regulation and control, solving problems by relying on the strength of the competitive, entrepreneurial public sector."
In September 2003, the Inter-American Development Bank approved a loan for a consortium led by Hunt Oil to construct a natural gas pipeline in Peru that environmentalists say will severely damage the rain forest there—after Ex-Im Bank pulled out due to environmental concerns. In 2002, Hunt hired KBR to build the $1 billion plant at the pipeline's origin.
