    So does this mean that anyone who invests in a Vanguard fund should be indicted?

    Sounds like renegade D.A. to me.

    About time.

    Nice that someone finally found the stones to take down a piece of the Bush/Cheney Traitors Incorporated.

    The indictment isn't even signed by a judge and it most likely won't be.

    The D.A. indicted about everyone in national and Texas government as he could, including many Democrats.

    Texas judge dismisses Cheney, Gonzales charges

    Christopher Sherman, Associated Press
    Tuesday, December 2, 2008

    (12-02) 04:00 PST Raymondville, Texas --
    A judge dismissed indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Monday and told the south Texas prosecutor who brought the case to exercise caution as his term in office ends.

    Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra had accused Cheney and the other defendants of responsibility for prisoner abuse. The judge's order ended two weeks of sometimes-bizarre court proceedings.

    Guerra is leaving office at the end of the month after being soundly defeated in the March primary election.

    "I suggest on behalf of the law that you not present any cases to the grand jury involving these defendants," Administrative Judge Manuel Banales said in court while ruling that eight indictments against Cheney, Gonzales and others were invalid.

    Three of the eight indictments returned Nov. 17 targeted private prison operator the GEO Group, state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., Cheney and Gonzales, as part of an investigation into prisoner abuse at privately run federal prisons in the county.

    Guerra ran the investigation into alleged prisoner abuse with a siege mentality. He worked it from his home, dubbed it "Operation Goliath" and kept it secret from his staff, he said. He gave all the witnesses biblical pseudonyms - his was "David."

    Banales dismissed all eight indictments because GEO Group attorney Tony Canales showed that two alternate jurors were part of the panel that day but had not been properly substituted.

    Five of the indictments - against two district judges, two special prosecutors and the district clerk - were dismissed because Guerra was the alleged victim, witness and prosecutor. The indictments accused the five of abusing their power by being involved in a previous investigation of Guerra.

    The indictment against Cheney alleged that his personal investment in the Vanguard Group, which invests in private prison companies, made him culpable in alleged prisoner abuse at privately run federal detention centers.

    Gonzales was accused of using his position to stop an investigation into abuses at a federal detention center.

    A solid case built on (so far) undisputed evidence and obvious collusion throughout the Texas legal system is tossed by same system on a trumped up technicality.

    Gosh, I'm so surprised.

    It was such a hoaky case that it was only good for a laugh.
