The company that Dick Cheney ran prior to becoming Vice President of the United States was atop the tongue of liberals each time his company was awarded a contract in Iraq.

Now the company's name, Halliburton, is being spoken somewhere else: Nigeria.

According to a story filed late Wednesday, Cheney will be indicted in a Nigerian bribery case as part of an investigation into an alleged $180 million bribery scandal.

"Last week, Nigeria arrested at least 23 officials from companies including Halliburton, Saipem, Technip and a former subsidiary of Panalpina Welttransport Holding AG in connection with alleged illegal payments to Nigerian officials. Those detained were all freed on bail on Nov. 29," Bloomberg News' Elisha Bala-Gbogbo wrote.

"Authorities in the West African nation are probing Halliburton, Saipem and Technip for the alleged payment of $180 million in bribes to win a $6 billion liquefied natural-gas contract," Bala-Gbogbo added. "Panalpina is being investigated for illegal payments it allegedly made to Nigerian customs officials on behalf of Royal Dutch Shell Plc."

I'd have preferred "crimes of war, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity" but in a world of no justice, it's nice to see something catch up to him.

Who wants to bet that the US ignores this while simultaneously screaming for Assange to be arrested?

Exactly Assange would be the one to bring the misdeeds into the light and for that he must be severely punished. So far that last batch of documents hasn't been anything more than embarrassing. What will be the grounds for charges?

Red facing the Feds?

Rocks are recyclable. Cheney would not appreciate the irony.

Good point, Minimalist.

Still... I'm of the opinion that Cheney's head is festering pustule filled with tiny, squirming alien life forms that we would risk unleashing onto an unsuspecting populace should Nigeria choose to stone him to death. So, I have to stick with unplugging his mechanical heart.

It's just safer.

The man is iving on borrowed time already. I suspect he will be dead before anyone can bring charges against him.
