Cheney, Gonzales indicted for alleged prisoner abuse
(CNN)—Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on separate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers, Willacy County, Texas, District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra told CNN Tuesday.
The indictment stems from Cheney’s investment in the Vanguard Group—an investment management company that reportedly has interests in the prison companies in charge of the detention centers, according to The Associated Press. It also charges Gonzales halted an investigation into abuse at the detention centers while he was attorney general.
Bob Fertik at Democrats.com says:
... the best part of a Texas indictment is that it can’t be blocked through a Presidential pardon. But we’ll see if “tough-on-crime” Gov. Rick Perry decides to go soft for his powerful friends ...
I’m sure Cheney is laughing his ass off.
