Will VP Cheney and/or former AG Gonzalez be found guilty of prisoner abuse in Texas?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081202/ap_on_re_us/cheney_indicted
Background:
From BBC News: "The indictment says Mr Cheney - who has invested $85m (£56m) in a company that holds shares in for-profit prisons - conspired to block an investigation.
The indictment has not been seen by a judge, who could dismiss it....The grand jury wrote that it made its decision 'with great sadness,' but said they had no other choice but to indict Mr Cheney and Mr Gonzales 'because we love our country.'
Several other related indictments were brought against a host of public officials in what one lawyer called a circus act by the outgoing prosecutor, Mr Guerra, who he said was seeking revenge in his final weeks in office. "
