In the waning days of the Bush administration, we've come to not expect a lot of action from the lame ducks. But a Federal grand jury doesn't think we should forget about what's happened over the last eight years.
All we can say is, "Wow!"
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.Cheney is the first vice president to be indicted by a Federal grand jury since Aaron Burr in 1803. We're going to be following this story closely, as the outcome could be very, very interesting. What do you think should happen to the outgoing vice president?On the southern tip of Texas, Willacy County is on the United States-Mexico border.
Democratic state Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr. is also charged in the indictment. Michael R. Cowen, an attorney for Lucio, issued a statement calling Guerra a "one man circus."
All we can say is, "Wow!"

Where did you get Federal Grand Jury??? It was a Willacy County grand jury that followed the lead of a recently defeated DA. A Judge has not signed the indictments but the DA held a press conference to announce them to have his last day in the Sun. The indictments revolve around the treatment of prisoners in a federal facility managed by an outside contractor. I am sure Cheney et al had a daily briefing on what was happening there. The WOW part of your story is how you believe this ....
Oh, anonymous, you take the fun out of everything!
Bottom line, he was indicted. We reported the story. It's pretty funny, and the fact that the judge belongs in the loony bin only adds to the humor.
We agree that it will probably get overturned!
