Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on state charges involving federal prisons in a South Texas county that has been a source of bizarre legal and political battles under the outgoing prosecutor.
The seven indictments made public in Willacy County on Tuesday included one naming state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. and some targeting public officials connected to District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra’s own legal battles. Regarding the indictments targeting the public officials, Guerra said, “the grand jury is the one that made those decisions, not me.”

This comes like a shot to the face for Dick Cheney… not so hot on the other end eh Dick? The question is will Cheney be pardoned from the indictment… most likely and unfortunately yes. This is craziness!
The indictment accuses Gonzales of using his position while in office to stop an investigation in 2006 into abuses at one of the privately-run prisons.
Gonzales’ party says this is absurd and any good prosecutor will recognize this. Either way, the fact of the matter is attention has been spotlighted with Dick Cheney indicted as well as Alberto Gonzales.
