Cheney/Halliburton broke US ban on foreign bribery?

[Stockholm]

Halliburton intervened with its partners in a huge Nigerian gas venture to secure the reappointment of a business agent now at the centre of an international bribery inquiry, a French judge has been told.

Evidence before the judge suggests that in 1999 - while US Vice-President Dick Cheney was Halliburton chief executive - a Halliburton subsidiary overrode its partners' objections to rehiring a British lawyer who, it has since been alleged, channelled payments to Nigerian officials and corporate executives.

Halliburton entered the consortium only in 1998, when it took over Dresser Industries and its M.W. Kellogg unit, which owned a 25 per cent share in TSKJ. Nevertheless, the French papers contain claims that Kellogg actively pushed for Mr Tesler's continued role as agent even after the Halliburton takeover. It raises questions over what Mr Cheney knew - or should have known - about one of the largest contracts awarded to a Halliburton subsidiary.

Mr Cheney's office did not respond to questions.

FUCheney has never answered any questions - he and his minions think they are above the laws of this or any other country.

You said it... in a nutshell. I imagine some in the world view our present administration as criminal. I imagine they are correct.

If I keep repeating that, people will believe its true....Karl Rove has demonstrated that again and again.

but seriously, he is an evil alien serpent being.

4. The IS NO LAW for the Imperials. NONE!

There is as much chance of Cheney being investigated for this as there was of Hitler being investigated for his connections to Fritz Thyssen.

None.

My dear God, Imperial Amerika is a Despotic Slave Nation.

And that despotism will eventually and fully trickle down to us.

It always has.
