Will Vice President Cheney be indicted—and will the US media report it?
By Patrick Martin
28 January 2004



A French investigation into $180 million in bribes paid by oil
companies
to government officials in Nigeria threatens to implicate US Vice
President Richard Cheney, according to reports in the French and
British
press. The conservative French daily newspaper Le Figaro wrote last
month that “the Paris court contemplates an eventual indictment of the
present United States’ vice president, Richard Cheney, in his capacity
as former CEO of Halliburton.”

1. Doubt it. Who has the guts to take him on like that?

Given that he would be able to cherry pick a judge who would throw out the indictment, it would mean the end of that person or persons' career. Cheney can do anything and get away with it - see the secret energy meetings, among many others. The solution is the election, and every effort to monitor its fairness. We could use international observers on this one.

2. Republicans are held to a different standard.

Janklow gets 100 days for murder.

Pickles walks clean.
