Ham, Sandwiched
By the approaching end of his term, gets an indictment on Cheney, Gonzales. 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.
Democratic state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. also is charged in the indictment.
Michael R. Cowen, an attorney for Lucio, issued a statement calling Guerra a “one man circus.”
“In the March 2008 Democratic Primary, 70 percent of the Willacy County voters elected to remove Juan Guerra as Willacy County District Attorney,” Cowen said. “Now, with only a few weeks left in his term, Mr. Guerra has again chosen to misuse his position in an attempt to seek revenge on those who he sees as political enemies.”
Sounds like a desperate cry for attention. Maybe he thinks it’ll get him a job in the Clinton, sorry, Obama DOJ. Somebody better tell him Obama lacks the stones to carry out his base’s demand for war crimes tribunals. He’d do better to just send a $2,500 campaign donation and his resume to Hillary.

“The indictment stems from Cheney’s investment in the Vanguard Group…”
I also have investments with Vanguard. Sounds like I’d better get my lawyers cranked up and ready to go, since this now appears to be a crime.
