Nigeria files bribery charges against Dick Cheney

Nigeria has filed charges against former US Vice-President Dick Cheney over a scandal involving a former subsidiary of Halliburton energy firm.

The case, brought by the country's anti-corruption agency, centres on engineering firm KBR, which admitted bribing officials.

Mr Cheney's lawyer has called the allegations "entirely baseless"...

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it had filed 16 charges against Mr Cheney, Halliburton Chief Executive David Lesar, and two other executives.

1. They'll have to convict him in absentia because, while our Justice Dept concentrates on Assange,

the Obama admin will not allow Cheney to faces the charges against him.

That's just the way the Obama administration is.

11. Don't be hasty to make that judgment. check this out:

"KBR last year pleaded guilty to paying $180m (£115m) in bribes to Nigerian officials prior to 2007, when it was a subsidiary of Halliburton. The firm agreed to pay $579m (£372m) in fines related to the case in the US."

MWI will be supplying water pumps and motors for a dam improvement project in Red Bluff, California. It's a Department of Interior stimulus project, touted as a feel-good environmental boon, easing water passage for salmon and sturgeon. Eller says his company had to submit a competitive bid to win the contract.

Yet MWI's track record with such high-profile government projects is less-than-stellar.

In 2006, during the government's rush to protect New Orleans from the first hurricane season after Katrina, MWI provided flood-control pumps that the Army Corps of Engineers found to be defective. A corps engineer warned that the pumps would fail if a storm hit, according to the Associated Press. The equipment, which MWI provided under a $26.6 million contract, had to be removed and overhauled.

Meanwhile, the U.S Department of Justice has had a years-long feud with MWI. In 2002, after a lengthy FBI investigation, the feds filed a lawsuit raising questions about a deal in which Nigeria bought equipment from MWI using $74 million in loans from the U.S. Export-Import Bank. The suit accused the company of making improper payments to Nigerian officials and alleged that Eller was flying with suitcases full of cash to the Bahamas and Grand Cayman to hide assets.

17. To trick him into vising Nigeria, I hear they sent Cheney an email

Telling him that he is the last living heir to the vast fortune of a deceased Nigerian Civil Servant. All he needs to do is show up at the Nigerian border in person, and provide his bank account details.

What...It could work...
