Local Texas Yokels Indict Cheney and Gonzales

Somehow I doubt this will hold up:

McALLEN, Texas — A South Texas grand jury has indicted 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 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.

Another indictment charges state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. with profiting from his public office by accepting honoraria from prison management companies.

Although I doubt he'll do it, I hope that as Bush is cleaning off his desk during those last couple of days in office he signs blanket pardons for all the key current and former members of his administration. That would effectively stop all the partisan witchhunts that are already being promised by certain Democrats and would allow the country to, in the words of a favorite lefty special interest group, Move On.
