Nigeria: Halliburton - U.S. Unlikely to Release Cheney for Trial

Washington DC — It may not be possible to bring former American Vice President Dick Cheney to court in Nigeria for his alleged role in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

He is holed up in his posh St. Michael's mansion in Maryland, United States.
Besides, President Barack Obama is unlikely to hand him over, according to administration officials.

St. Michael's is a get-away fishing town for millionaires and former government officials.
Cheney is not only respected by the Republican leaning community, he is protected round the clock by the Secret Service.

His personal security detail has been beefed up since Abuja announced plans to try him for the alleged bribery.
