Cheney faces prosecution: report

Cheney faces prosecution: report
December 21, 2003 - 12:05PM

A French official is examining whether to prosecute US Vice President Dick Cheney over alleged complicity in the abuse of corporate assets dating from the time he was head of the services company Halliburton, the French newspaper Le Figaro said.

The case stems from a contract by a consortium including the American company Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a Halliburton subsidiary, and a French company, Technip, to supply a gas complex to Nigeria, the newspaper reported.

A Paris investigating magistrate has been conducting investigations since October into allegations that $US180 million ($A243.18 million) was paid in secret commissions during the late 1990s up to 2002 from funds established by the consortium in Madeira, the report said.

Cheney was Halliburton's chief executive between 1995 and 2000.

this will happen!

Please, Lord, let it be true!!!!

financial offices is based in france-can`t run away dickie..

He won't be subject to any penalties at all...he has squashed Brussel's and the international court Bush and he will use the CIA to "eliminate" any magistrate honest enough to indict him.

Watch for a large cheese wheel gone awry....

Cheney in chains.....what a dream.
Hmmm, you think the administration will "suddenly" decide that we can be friends again with France?
:evilgrin:

is strip he and his family of any and all assets. Make 'em destitute. Kick 'em to the curb. Better yet take away his health insurance coverage. Would accomplish the same thing.

Only question is what to do with the money the show would make....

Imagine all the anti-France stuff in the US if they arrested Cheney. That'd be great.

;)

:evilgrin:

Chandra's heart is rejecting the evil body it was installed in!

"Why does Dick Cheney's heart skip a beat whenever Gary Condit's name is mentioned?"
:7

see the inside of a courtroom..The entire administration will get away with whatever they do because they've already gotten away with the test run of 2000..And if things get "too hot", they'll throw whoever in jail..If this were Clinton, he'd already be gone..

Has been for years. Do you think Bobby worries? Hell, no, Bobby just makes sure his travel plans don't include PR.

So the TinMan doesn't go to France.

Nothing to see here.

Works for a while, but gives him cricks in the neck from looking over the shoulder. Eh?

That's gotta hurt!

unfortunately.

they will return the guillotine to service?

weird science.
Cheney is a war profiteer and should be indicted here most of all.

he'll be hailed a patriot by other repukes for stepping aside to let another big oil man step in (or big oil woman like condi).

More and more, when I see Vice President Cheney's face in the media, he reminds me of the end of GOLDFINGER, and I fantasize him being sucked through the tiny hole of a giant plane somewhere over the ocean...

Cheney could run over an 8 month pregnant woman with a gas guzzling SUV and leave the woman bleed to death and Cheney still won't see a day in court.

Go figure

:cry:

If they are above Amerikan Law they certainly are not going to submit to International law.
