Will Dick Cheney be indicted by Nigeria?
It may not exactly what we would have expected but there is chance that we may finally see former VP Dick Cheney face some form of justice for his long list of high crimes. It may not be for his suspected criminal and treasonous acts regarding his involvement in 9/11, but for a bribery scheme to Nigerian officials for natural gas contracts for Halliburton subsidiary KBR. Keith Obleramann explains the Nigerian charges and that a warrant for Dick Cheney's arrest will be issued in the coming days. He also reveals how the Obama administration worked with (i.e. colluded) the GOP to influence the Spanish court to ignore its mandate to investigate 6 Bush administration officials for torture crimes sourcing a recently leaked cable. The source article regarding Dick Cheney's arrest warrant (updated) can be found here:

Well there may not be justice in the US but thank goodness there is still Karma.
Peace everyone.

I dont know about you
But this is at the very top of my Christmas wish list.
I would love
to see Cheney get his pay back for all the crimes he has committed but I am afraid that day will never come. I have never seen any of the NEOCON's punished for their crimes. It's like the Mafia. They take care of their own. Perhaps if 9/11truth comes out then the NEOCONS will be punished but what about their controllers. The Bankers? Those are the people we should be after.
I hope
Cheney lives long enough to be convicted.
I wonder if every head of
I wonder if every head of nations around this world have seen the video documentaries, the documentation that makes its way around this country as we hand out DVDs? I wonder if from a conjoined international consensus, if the neo-con cabal could ever face the criminal court. I know nothing of international law. I feel such despair sometimes at the realization that one of the biggest and most obvious crimes upon humanity seems to have been successfully executed, as the perps continue to live in the grandest of ways, limos with secret service, etc. Homicidal mafiosos, really. Especially outrageous that it happened in front of THIS nation, and THIS country, the majority anyway doesn't or won't even see it. Flabbergasting, to say the least. Frustrating beyond words.
It makes me realize what a child who is raped, must feel, and he or she tries to tell his or her mother, and the mother tells the child that they are being bad, not to say such things, and that the child is being foolish.
These criminals
are beyond the law. There's clear evidence that 9/11 dust contains nano-thermite which has been presented to the FBI and Congress and still we can't even get media coverage, never mind an honest independent
re-investigation. They use this nation's constitution like it's towel paper, the whole world knows what happened on 9/11, except the American public. This nation can't deal with the TRUTH for it would mean they would have to take action. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN, we can't even take care of the 40,000 plus heroes who are presently suffering from deathly illnesses of the Ground Zero dust almost 10 years later!
On that picture, Cheney looks like a dead man walking
I pretty much doubt if he will make it to court, considering he has to undergo a heart transplant in the near future. From what I've read, he's had five heartattacks already, the first one when he was 37, last one in February 2010. The article stated "Doctors cite him as a model for the benefits of modern cardiac care"
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/20/health/20docs.html
Perhaps his body was trying to get rid of itself, sensing that it was about to engage in some pretty serious horrendous damage to human society. Only modern day medicine has seem to prevented this.
Hopefully that same modern day medicine can keep this man alive long enough to make him face the consequences of his actions, and take responsibility for the things he has done in his life. One wishes that he would come clean before his death, revealing all the dark secrets he no doubtedly carries with him. One can only imagine that, it seems.
And still I wonder, would it even bother the majority of the American people, if he did come clean on all the issues we know he has something to do with?
Dick, if you're reading this:
"You could make a videotape in which you speak out freely about all the things you did and things you had to do by somebody else's orders, and send it to every newsstation around the world. It's never too late to make a difference. You could make a big difference, because you've earned a lot of credibility with many people around the world, so when you say something it counts. Become the best and most famous whistleblower in the history of modern man, tell the world what's going on, point out the responsible parties, so we can bring them down from their throwns, and give ourselves a honest change to fix humanity. You know you have this option, the other option is that you go down as a warcriminal and a thief in a lot of people's minds.
Do the right thing, follow your heart, before it'll stop. Good luck!"
This would be great
Cheney has to go down in the record book as a criminal.
Poetic Injustice
It would be fitting if Nigeria -- known as the 'World Oil Pollution Capitol' -- brought the oil-mad Cheney to justice.
"With 606 oilfields, the Niger delta supplies 40% of all the crude the United States imports and is the world capital of oil pollution. Life expectancy in its rural communities, half of which have no access to clean water, has fallen to little more than 40 years over the past two generations. Locals blame the oil that pollutes their land and can scarcely believe the contrast with the steps taken by BP and the US government to try to stop the Gulf oil leak and to protect the Louisiana shoreline from pollution.
"If this Gulf accident had happened in Nigeria, neither the government nor the company would have paid much attention," said the writer Ben Ikari, a member of the Ogoni people. "This kind of spill happens all the time in the delta.
It is impossible to know how much oil is spilled in the Niger delta each year because the companies and the government keep that secret. However, two major independent investigations over the past four years suggest that as much is spilled at sea, in the swamps and on land every year as has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico so far."

Unfortunately the odds of Cheney being arrested by Nigerian authorities are somewhere between Obama ushering in world peace and Pope Ratzinger being struck by lightening. Oh well, one can dream...
This World
He will simply smirk, dismiss it, and that will be the end of it.
if kissenger got away with a failed coup in chile....
Now here were talking about a former vp and a much lesser charge of corrupt business deals- perhaps he can get away with it :(
