And I kid you not, folks. Who knew Texas of all places would have the guts to indict Cheney and Gonzo?
Thinkprogress:
A South Texas grand jury has returned multi-count indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County’s federal detention centers:
The indictment accuses Cheney and Gonzales of engaging in organized criminal activity. It criticizes Cheney’s investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers.
It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and “at least misdemeanor assaults” on detainees by working through the prison companies.
Gonzales is accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation into abuses at the federal detention centers.
Update 1: Another indictment charges state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. with profiting from his public office by accepting honoraria from prison management companies.
Update 2: The indictments have not been made public, but NEWSCHANNEL 5 has learned Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, Texas State Senator Eddie Lucio Junio, Judge Migdalia Lopez, Judge Janet Leal, and Willacy County District Clerk Gilbert Lozano were among those indicted.

Oh MY! :O! Texas? How'd-a-thunk?
Makes since as Pelosi was paid to take the impeachment off the table. Texas citizens know they have rights and used them. Now let's see how Musk Rat moves in to protect the two criminals charged. Americans need to take back the law and even the other Branches of Govenment.
Indict, not tried yet.
They are guilty, but so was Rove, actually they are guilty of a lot more than that, but it's a start.
Hmmm, aren't they paying off the right people? Maybe they didn't think they had to pay off anyone in Texas, hmm, they must of thought it was a safe state, seeing how W and all came from there.
Well, the Texas jury has more guts to indict these two criminals than Congress and Senate. That is what I see from this. Yes, Chicago Native, Dick and Gonzo are indicted but not tried yet. They are still innocent until proven guilty. If this case doesn't succeed at all, I still give Texas jury hat's off for bringing these two into justice. More than I can say from Pelosi's words about Bush: Impeachment is off the table. Remember that?
This is a joke, right?
April Fool's isn't for a long time.
Who made this up, "The Onion?"
Hasn't anyone told you not to tease a cat?
No, this is true, Mr. Kitty. AP confirmed this. It's hard to believe it, isn't it?
The Onion, lol! Mr Kitty!
