[SoCalDemocrat]

I read an article that France was about to indict Dick Cheney. The site running this story has been subject to repeated hacking attacks.

Now just a few minutes ago I saw on CNN HN that a plane crashed in Lissa, Nigeria with several senior Nigerian government officials on board. There were no survivors. I wonder if any of them were witnesses?

1. this story heated up just before the election ...

the french magistrate was trying to flip some of the underlings.

it had gone off the radar screen for most of us.

hmmm. no bad pun intended there.

2. would you believe that i actually know a former Nigerian govt. official?

well i really do and he's told me many times over the past 5 years that eventually Cheney will be indicted.

3. High ranking Nigerian officials contact me all the time.

They are usually princes and they need the use of my bank account to get oil money out of the country. I've made millions assisting them.

5. you get those, too?

the least they could do is use spellcheck.

6. he's not a prince, former official in the ministry of oil.

but thanks for the sarcasm.

13. I also got a couple of those

4. What powers do the French have over Cheney and US law?

If the French do indict Cheney, does that mean anything besides bad press for BFEE

[Balbus]

9. Absolutely none - eom

7. It is worth mentioning that this story is now...

... almost two years old. I kind of doubt anything is going to come of it. Of one thing, Ireland was right--there wasn't any follow-up reporting in the US to speak of on the French investigation.

8. thanks. I wondered why BFEE killed those

officials from Nigeria. Of course Cheney couldn't let that trial happen. It just makes so much sense that all those people had to die. After all, Cheney (like DeLay) "is the government".

10. You know what's weird

early this morning they were saying there were survivors of the plane crash, I think I even saw a Yahoo headline that 50 survived, and then a little later they said all were killed. :tinfoilhat:

11. Niger and Nigeria are 2 different countries

Probably not a connection there...

14. Yeah - I was about to say "What Nigerian Scandal?" Niger.

12. Kind of brings the whole Bolton nomination into perspective.

Cripple the U.N. the only other superpower.
