Cheney's Halliburton formally under SEC investigation for bribery

The beauty of this is that even if the SEC was told to back down (as happened with W when daddy was president) the French are also on this case. That's going to keep the investigation honest, or at least balanced. I'm still wondering if there will be any investigation to Halliburton selling to Iraq during the sanction years. Anyway, this story has serious potential to get ugly. Bribing officials in Nigeria to the tune of $180M and blocking out a French competitor will get noticed. As an American who has worked in international business since the early 90's, bribery is a nasty charge and if found guilty, people can go to jail. This one just might have legs.
