Yaaaayyyy!!! Keep 'em coming, campers! We'll hang these reptilian fuckers yet!
This piece actually has to do with Big Dick Cheney's investments in private prisons and the typical abuse that results from such privatization of penalization. Let's all hope for a "Fucking Gulity" verdict on this puppy, as well as on all those that must and will follow!--Pete

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.

I found it interesting that two Texas judges also were indicted. The Bush regime has its roots in Texas, where the biggest thing is the corruption.
