In a follow-up to Bob's posting, Dick Cheney is facing indictment in France for criminal activities while CEO of Halliburton and for paying bribes to Nigerian officials to secure a $6 billion bid for a petrochemical plant.
On June 18th, the SEC formally opened an investigation against Halliburton for funnelling $180 million into a slush fund to pay bribes.
Jeffrey Tesler, a consultant to Halliburton, admitted under oath to a Frech magistrate that at least $5 million in payments to Jack Stanley were personally approved by Cheney. These were "commissions" of 3 percent of the deal from the the slush fund.
I think some of Bob's questions can now be answered: Who made the $5M payment? Cheney. Why? Bribes.
At the very least, it is looking like we are going to have a one-term Vice-President.
