Cheney, Gonzales indicted for prisoner abuse
by Jay McDonough
That got your attention, huh? The indictment is, however, not for the Vice President's and ex-Attorney General's roles in implementing and authorizing the use of torture by U.S. forces in the war on terror.
A grand jury in south Texas indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on separate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers, Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra told CNN Tuesday.
The Associated Press reported that 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. It also charges Gonzales halted an investigation into abuse at the detention centers while he was attorney general. (Link)
But there is something karmic, perhaps prophetic, about the two of them being indicted for "prisoner abuse". Perhaps the shape of things to come for Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales.
Jay, you had my heart racing for a minute. I can hope at least one gets jail time and turns state witness for the new AG, I suppose.

George W. Bush is indeed hated and despised. Bush may not be “self-aware” relative to his narcissistic personality disorder. A lot of mentally ill people are oblivious and/or in denial of their mental illness. But Bush is probably aware that he has psychological problems. Bush may quibble over semantics or interpretations or opinions about whether it would be appropriate or fair to say that he has psychological problems of “clinical significance.”
George W. Bush is gravely mentally ill and needs help.
It is on the Internet: people are “counting the days til Bush leaves office.”
The American people can hardly wait til Bush leaves office. The presidency of Bush has been a nightmare for the American people and for the world. The narcissistic personality disorder of Bush has certainly contributed to what is almost his inability to do anything right.
The above is also true of Richard B. Cheney.
