Texas Judge Dismisses Indictments Against Cheney & Gonzales

HeadlineDec 02, 2008

In Texas, a judge has dismissed indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for their alleged role in the abuse of prisoners in private prisons in Texas. The indictment had cited Cheney’s investment in Vanguard Group, which owns an interest in private prisons in South Texas. Gonzales was accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation in 2006 into abuses at one of the privately run prisons.
