Halliburton, Dubai, Lesar and Extradition Treaties
Another story to elicit feigned outrage from politicians. The same politicians who take money from these special interests year after year. Try to look good in front of the press and appeal to the public as servants in the quest for justice. What a load of fertilizer. Has anyone suggested the lack of an extradition treaty with Dubai. This blog was unable to find any reference to an extradition treaty in the USC as regards Dubai or the United Arab Emirates. So is Mr. Lesar relocating to Dubai in anticipation of hearings on Halliburton’s excesses and failure to perform? The DOJ manuals discuss procedures for acting without an extradition treaty, but who knows what the success rate is. Again, why is no one talking about this? Did we miss something? Is this not a possibility? Please, tell us.C. HarrisMoreWhat.com
