Last Straw

U.S. Vice Pres­id­ent Dick Cheney and former Attor­ney Gen­eral Alberto Gonzales, among oth­ers, have been indicted (form­ally accused) by a Texa Grand Jury for “organ­ised crim­inal activ­ity” related to alleged abuse of private prison inmates.

The 3-page long indict­ment involves Cheney’s USD 85 M invest­ment in the Van­guard Group — an invest­ment man­age­ment com­pany that reportedly has interests in the prison com­pan­ies in charge of the deten­tion cen­ters. (via novinite.com)

Let’s hope this is just the start of a chain of indict­ments against these crim­in­als. I don’t believe in the death pen­alty but if the let­ter of law were fol­lowed in the U.S. that’s what some of these guys would get in the end for their war crimes.
