Halliburton Exec., Sentenced In Bribery Scheme

A former top Halliburton executive will serve 2 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty in Houston federal court to orchestrating a $180 million bribery scheme to secure $6 billion in natural gas deals in Nigeria, the Justice Department announced Thursday.

Albert "Jack" Stanley is the former CEO of KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary at the time of the bribes; he was tapped to run the company in 1998 by future Vice President Dick Cheney, who ran Halliburton between 1996 and 2000. Cheney was not charged in the case.

KBR, spun off by Halliburton in the wake of the scandal, called the scheme an "unfortunate chapter" in its "rich and storied history" after pleading guilty to corporate criminal charges in 2009.

I wonder how much of that bribe came from the pallets and pallets of hundered dollar bills that JUST DISAPEARED in iraq?
 
It is unfortunate that Bill Clinton let this happen on his watch. Similar to Clinton taking bribe from Enron to use his power as president push for an Enron power plant in India.
 
Bill Clinton didnt ship billions of dollars in cash to Iraq

Bill Clinton was president the majority of the time from 1994 to 2004 while this bribery was taking place. You drug Iraq into a Nigerian issue. During that same period Clinton took a bribe from Enron to do their bidding.
