I wouldn't expect too much from this. The charge against Cheney seems pretty meager, especially relative to the host of impeachable offenses he has racked up. What's most interesting to me is Cheney's investment in Vanguard Group. I either never knew or forgot that he had financial ties to the private prison industry.

It was private contractors who oversaw most of the torture in our military prisons and who trained the soldiers involved, the ones who were scapegoated and left to rot by our gutless, piss-for-blood Congress.

We knew Cheney and Rumsfeld had deep ties to defense contractors and manipulated U.S. policy to their benefit, and Cheney's ties to the prison industry have similar explanatory value. Ashcroft also had strong ties to prison corporations.

This indictment is mostly a final reminder of just how corrupt and depraved these bastards are and what a cheap coward Nancy Pelosi is for giving them a pass.

it's not torture. I always wanted some major media figure to meet Bush in an interview and challenge him to let his two daughters be waterboarded for a meager five minutes, and have him watch.
