Looks like a non-starter.

I don't see any particular nexus with Cheney.

Unless he specifically influenced Gonzales and he had certain knowledge of his investments ... but I would say Cheney is far too careful to have left any smoking guns about.

Gonzales otherwise can likely claim incompetence and that won't be all that hard to demonstrate.

It's not the type of indictment libs are looking for.

Except when he's hunting.

Here's the Yahoo News story...

Texas grand jury? Indicting Cheney? Wow.

[jreelawg]

Just wait till Obama gets in Office. Rahm Emanuel is known to be at odds with Cheney. With Rahm as chief of staff Cheney will need to flee the country.

I wish, but I doubt it. Obama will keep him on a leash so as to not turn away Republicans, or at least the ones that would be turned away by the act.

Obama looks too much like a "forgive and forget" type of guy. :(

Arraignment set for Cheney, Gonzales in Texas
By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press Writer

Nov 19th, 2008 | RAYMONDVILLE, Texas -- A Texas judge has set a Friday arraignment for Vice President Dick Cheney, former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and others named in indictments accusing them of responsibility for prisoner abuse in a federal detention center.

Cheney, Gonzales and the others will not be arrested, and do not need to appear in person at the arraignment, Presiding Judge Manuel Banales said.

this is all a setup, see? the indictment is fake, a ruse, a misdirection. it allows the president a good excuse to issue Cheney a pardon on his way out, relieving him of all crimes committed in office, including war-. Bush, of course, doesn't need a pardon, since the president is exempt from arrest and must be impeached, and Congress gets no do-overs on that.

Not likely.

This dog don't hunt.

The indictment shows nothing that is likely to be sustained.

There won't be the need for any pardons.

Now as far as interrogation of detainees ... Cheney might want to be taking a good pull off the old Pardon jug if Bush passes it around.

i can see i'm getting nothing past you.

And there's an indictment for the whole, top administration coming out of Chicago...
