Halliburton: U.S. Won’t Release Cheney For Trial
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 07:25 PM by Skinner
It may not be possible to bring former American Vice President Dick Cheney to court in Nigeria for his alleged role in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

He is holed up in his posh St. Michael’s mansion in Maryland, United States.

Besides, President Barack Obama is unlikely to hand him over, according to administration officials.

St. Michael’s is a get-away fishing town for millionaires and former government officials.

Naw, the US would put all its resources into protecting Darth, in that case.

4. They'll just try him in abstentia
then he'll be a wanted international criminal and we can add his name to the list of US Vice Presidents who were wanted for crimes overseas, a list which consists solely of Vice President Dick Cheney.
