BREAKING NEWS: Someone to charge Dick Cheney with something!
He’s responsible for two wars, countless deaths, torture, profiteering, corruption and he even shot a man in the face. Now, finally, someone has decided to take Dick Cheney to task, or more specifically to court, in Nigeria. As the former CEO of Haliburton, Cheney is named in a $180 million anti-bribery case brought about by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria’s anti-corruption police. Basically, through subsidiary KBR, Haliburton bribed Nigerian officials between 1994 and 2004 to secure $6 billion worth of contracts for the Bonny Island liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the Niger Delta.
