Throw the book at the man...


Dick Chaney is an Evil man...


From the first day i saw a picture of this man, i knew he was evil, and i wanted NOTHING to do with him...



Throw the book at him, and God Bless America

they finally got something on him

I hope it sticks and that this leads to more prosecutions

Anyone have another sorce? I get "access denied" in the OP link.

Interesting indictment. How can Cheney, several judges, and a congressman be charged with assault on prisoners? Because Cheney has financial interest in the Vanguard Group?

So, if I'm a shareholder in Boeing, I can be indicted on war crimes because they built engines that carried bombs that were used in Iraq?

This sounds like the parting shot from a prosecutor who got his butt handed to him in the last election. The guy sounds like a wacko...I wonder how much credibility he has?

Last month, Banales dismissed indictments that charged Guerra with extorting money from a bail bond company and using his office for personal business. An appeals court had earlier ruled that a special prosecutor was improperly appointed to investigate Guerra.

After Guerra's office was raided as part of the investigation early last year, he camped outside the courthouse in a borrowed camper with a horse, three goats and a rooster. He threatened to dismiss hundreds of cases because he believed local law enforcement had aided the investigation against him.

I believe paperwork has to be submitted before Bush can pardon anybody. But even if Bush doesn't Obama will. The powers to be will force Obama to pardon Bush or Cheney kinda the way they did for Nixon. If Obama doesn't give a pardon, I am sure he will probably be indicted over some BS made up case and face a similar situation.

Huge difference though, Nixon wasn't pardoned by a democrat. He was pardoned by his VP.


Personally, as an Obama Supporter I don't want any pardons for Bush or Cheney. Without accountability at the highest levels in Government, our society is doomed.

HANG'EM! HANG'EM HIGH!!!!!!

Despite the fact that Bush/Obama have/will have the power to pardon him, it would be nice if Cheney was being used as a scapegoat by those above him, ie 'you have outlived your usefulness and someone has to take the rap...sorry Dick...'

Doubt it though, but I'll begin visualising now; see what I can do

This is great and all but if it really comes down to it Cheney and especially Rove will get presidential pardons.

It looks like no one here is reading the article. (except JSO)

Cheney is being charged with alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers because he holds stock in the Vanguard Group? At least that's what it looks like to me.

The charges are junk charges - It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainee.

What kind of language is that? 'at least misdemeanor assaults'??

As JSO said - does this mean that anyone holding stock in Boeing or "LockMart" (Lockheed Martin) or Glock (etc etc) can now be charged with 'at least misdemeanor assaults' if products from those companies result in less then perfect living conditions for someone someplace on this planet?

Sounds like the fella pushing the charges is just looking for attention.

I understand folks wanting an investigation into possible wrongdoings by Cheney during his 8 years as Vice President. But folks ... this isn't it.

Who didnt know he would be charged before he left office, still making sure he is number one in the game.

They all have to be sitting back and laughing there arses off all the way to the bank.

Its great seeing all the Bush haters get so wound up over this! This is nothing but a grasp at a vision of a string by another Bush hater that won't go anywhere. I'm sure every Bush hater excited by this is also adamant to the fact that Obama has shown a legit birth certificate.......

Its funny how emotion dictates facts in so many of these threads-

Uhm... as for me, I'm not a Bush hater. Besides, he wasn't indicted.

I am, for the record, a Dick "I think I'm above the law and actually President, don't agree with me and I'll shoot you in the face" Cheney hater.
