Further to Steve's point below , you'll recall that the kickback funds of $180M, in the Swiss bank account filled up by the Nigerian government , were controlled by London-based lawyer Jeffrey Tesler.
Tesler testified under oath in May to the investigating French magistrate, as reported in this Capital Blue article, that the $5M payment to Haliburton KBR executive Albert Stanley was personally approved by Dick Cheney, while Cheney was CEO of Haliburton. Cheney had approved the $6B Haliburton KBR contract in 1999, which resulted in the creation of the $180M kickback fund.
The SEC opened an investigation June 18 -- the day that Haliburton announced it is "severing all ties" with Stanley due to his illegal activities.
Oh, by the way, it was about these activities that Sen. Patrick Leahy was asking Cheney about on the Senate floor, when Cheney instructed Leahy to commit an anatomical impossibility.
Our Vice President, thus, is close to being indicted in France for bribery; and is under investigation for these same activities in the US. Why isn't this stuff being reported by our press? Why do we only hear that he swears like a sailor, rather than what he was swearing about?
