Lagos, Nigeria - Halliburton is planning to make a plea bargain in former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's corruption case, Nigerian officials told GlobalPost.
Nigeria's anti-corruption agency charged Cheney as the head of Halliburton when its engineering subsidiary, KBR, allegedly paid bribes totaling $180 million to secure contracts worth $6 billion.
KBR has admitted to bribing officials. Last year the company pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court to paying the bribes to Nigerian officials prior to 2007, when it was a subsidiary of Halliburton. KBR, which is now independent from Halliburton, agreed to pay $597 million in fines, according to the Associated Press.
Cheney's lawyer dismissed the new Nigerian charges as "entirely baseless."

so much of this type info is in the public domain now, that the elites have decided to throw Chenney under the bus in order to admit to "some of the corruption".
It is evidence of War Profiteering.
Chenny is now closer to the end of his miserable life and so throwing him under the bus will seem like a mere speed bump in the road. It should satisfy MSM enough to help stop the stories of war profiteering.
Other than paying the fines, Cheney's LAWYER said the charges "were baseless", so I KNOW there is nothing there...after all, if Cheney was guilty, wouldn't his lawyer just say so???
Cheney is "old school' and as hard core as they come. Nobody will be throwing him under any bus because he has the goods on so many politicians profiteering from that (NO compitition/NO bidding process/NO $$$ amount required for the job) Haliburton War Machine. No one can put a figure on Cheney's wealth but I've read it definately exceeds 100 million, most of it from Haliburton. It might as well be called "Cheney and Bush Sr. Corp". The Cheney mega money group of investors will permanently remove anything, anyone, and any serious obstacle in their way of making even more money globally from the continuing war machine (Haliburton).
The following is one paragraph from each of the wiki bio's of Dick Cheney, George Bush Sr. and Haliburton. You will see the connection. Out of office during the Clinton presidency, Cheney was chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company from 1995 to 2000. In 1998 Halliburton merged with Dresser Industries, which included Kellogg. Prescott Bush was a director of Dresser Industries, which is now part of Halliburton. Former United States president George H. W. Bush worked for Dresser Industries in several positions from 1948–1951, before he founded Zapata Corporation. Zapata Corporation (NYSE: ZAP) is a holding company based in Rochester, New York and originating from an oil company started by a group including the former United States president George H. W. Bush. Various writers have alleged links between the company and the United States Central Intelligence Agency. The company traces its origins to Zapata Oil, founded in 1953 by future-U.S. President George H. W. Bush, along with his business partners John Overbey, Hugh Liedtke, Bill Liedtke, and Thomas J. Devine. Bush and Thomas J. Devine were oil-wildcatting associates.[1] Their joint activities culminated in the establishment of Zapata Oil.[1] The initial $1 million investment for Zapata was provided by the Liedtke brothers and their circle of investors, by Bush's father and maternal grandfather—;Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker, and his family circle of friends. In conclusion, anybody that thinks they're going to get in the way of this companies agenda isn't thinking at all and is premeditated suicide.
i can't stand Cheney but everyone knows bribes are a normal part of doing business in many parts of Africa and the Middle East.
