Bobby Fischer detained?? Dick Cheney must be next.
If Bobby Fischer is being detained because the U.S. has arrest warrants issued against him for defying an embargo against Yugoslavia in 1992, then is Dick Cheney next to be detained? Halliburton did business with Iraq while an embargo was in place and Cheney ran the company while profits flowed. Why is their no arrest warrants for Cheney pending? I smell a rotting odor.

1. That's true! Unless of course they created offshore subsidiaries to
get around the embargo's.

2. My understanding is that is how they got around the laws
But Cheney himself would have to profit anyway. I don't think he had his salary pro-rated. LOL

4. Such a shame
he was such a nut because he was a true hero of the Cold War. He took on the Soviet apparatus by himself and won. I feel bad for him, but he truly is a nutcase.

5. He had the fillings removed from his teeth...
before he played Spassky in Reykjavik because he was afraid the KGB would transmit radio waves to disrupt his thought processes. He's been crazy for a long time.
