It could not happen to a better person. What Dick Cheney should really be charged with is War Crimes. He used the Vice-Presidency not only to move his world view further and in the process murdered thousands of American implicitly and thousands of Iraqis explicitly with an illegal war.
I simply cannot understand how these guys can live with themselves. If there is some life after terrestrial death one can only hope they feel the pain they have inflicted on millions. These guys have used their corporations and the stature of the United States to enrich themselves and to cause calamitous damage to every country they’ve touched.

Nigeria: Dick Cheney To Be Charged Over Alleged Bribery Case
Nigerian authorities will charge former Vice President Dick Cheney over a bribery scandal that is alleged to involve Halliburton, BusinessWeek reports. An arrest warrant "will be issued and transmitted through Interpol," said Godwin Obla, the prosecuting counsel at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Nigeria.
The charges center on an alleged $180 million bribery payment used to secure a $6 billion liquefied natural gas contract. Prosecutors are also looking into international companies Saipem and Technip. Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000, before becoming George W. Bush’s running mate. "As the CEO of Halliburton, he has the responsibility for acts that occurred during that period," Obla told the AFP.
Nigeria arrested 12 employees of Halliburton earlier in the week, reports Reuters. The firm’s offices in Nigeria were raided by anti-corruption police, although the company said that the detentions "had no legal basis and that its employees had since been freed."
Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper reported that charges against Cheney were confirmed by the government and included "criminal conspiracy."
