musicman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 A South Texas grand jury indicted Vice President 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.
