Cheney, Gonzales Indicted In Texas

It's short and Oh My God Is It Sweet!!

Taken from Think Progress En Toto;

Vice President Cheney and former Attorney General Gonzales indicted.»

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.

Finally, someone with the fucking balls to go after these thug bastards.
My hat is off to you.

So far, nothing at the NYT, LAT or WAPO, they must be saving it for a back story tomorrow.

Round Two

Abu strikes again.
I an swamped at work for a while and missed most of the lying fuckers testimony.
The old 'I don't recall' meme got another work out though.
That shit makes me wonder just how long Conyers is going to put up with it.
Of course, the ever helpful Republican Senators went wayyy out of their way to help the lying sack of weasel shit. They went off topic at every chance, intellectual property concerns, immigration concerns, Rove set 'em up and they ran with it. What I did catch was nauseating.
And to top it off, Cspan had the hiccups all damn day.
There is some good news though, Murray Wass ( God Bless him) came out with a report that says the DOJ is holding back emails that show Rover was involved and would also show clearly that Abu is lying out his ass.
I am waiting for that bomb to drop.

Abu the magnificent

That wacky Attorney General we have, Alberto Gonzolas is a never ending source of embarassment to this blogger.
The man gave an amazing display of ignorance in front of the investigative committee last week, claiming faulty memory at least sixty times.
At least two Senators called for his resignation on the spot. More calls for his departure followed soon after.
He is expected to return on May 10th and I am not holding my breath for any sudden improvement in his mental acuity.
I have read a few places that are saying that Bush will not let him go for a couple of reasons.One being that any replacement would have to go through confirmation hearings that would open the administration to legal liability.
Another reason being floated is that Bush owes Abu for saving his ass a couple of times in the past.
Neither of these really bother me. The fact that he hasn't been upfront with all of the hijinks that have gone on under his watch does. This guy, in my opinion, should be on trial for subverting the Constitution of the United States and for the politically motivated firings of 8 U.S. Attorney's, just for a start.His interpretation saying that Habeus Corpus is not inherently granted under the Constitution is one of the most dangerous things to have been done to erase our civil rights in the history of this country. That alone should be enough to impeach the fascist bastard all by itself.
Here is to the hope that Senators Waxman and Conyers can get the sonofabitch to trip up and incriminate himself so we can start the Bush regime on the long road to being bad history.
