Cheney: Fair Fight

He claimed a gap in the laws made it OK to bomb fleeing Iraqi's and bury them alive.

If anyone can get a hold of this, it explains what I alluded to. I will post excerpts later.

We have a whole culture that seems to be based on loopholes.

I bet there are some judges who would be willing, if the ham sandwich is a Republican ..

You couldn't write a better comical script than this thread.

You had me going .. Charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers?

The Associated Press reported that the indictment stems from Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group — an investment management company that reportedly has interests in the prison companies in charge of the detention center.

Unless Cheney went in and sprayed the prisoners with his shotgun, this 'indictment' is a joke.

My investments are through Vanguard too. Chance were pretty good that Cheney would have investments throgh either Vanguard, Fidelity or both. I agree, this is a joke.

To me, it feel like waiting for a colonoscopy.

You like those?

Better include the priest too, just to make sure.

Just to round it out, they'll need a voodoo woman named Phyllis.*



*Sorry, but I can never resist an opportunity to quote The Waterboy.

 

[Saxsoon]

I still have the news reports..I'll send the link tomorrow..The tanks buried them alive in the sand.

Cheney is an evil man.

Wait, I am confused, but wouldn't it be better to indict him for things like this rather than what he invested in? Please enlighten me.

Of course and I am hopeful.

Petty ole prisioner abuse...

Don't worry, it's just the beginning!!

Don't get your hopes up... The Administration-in-waiting has indicated that such prosecutions are unlikely...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama's incoming administration is unlikely to bring criminal charges against government officials who authorized or engaged in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists during the George W. Bush presidency. Obama, who has criticized the use of torture, is being urged by some constitutional scholars and human rights groups to investigate possible war crimes by the Bush administration.

Two Obama advisers said there's little — if any — chance that the incoming president's Justice Department will go after anyone involved in authorizing or carrying out interrogations that provoked worldwide outrage.

Key players in Congress don't seem to have much stomach for it either:

Asked this weekend during a Vermont Public Radio interview if Bush administration officials would face war crimes, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy flatly said, "In the United States, no."

"These things are not going to happen," said Leahy, D-Vt.

A DA who is called a "one man circus" is your gift from God?
Secondly, should I watch for my indictment in the mail too? I have funds with Vanguard....along with hundreds of thousands of other investors.

Well, I was going to offer to bail you out of jail but, I think I better check my portfolio first. I might be sitting right next to ya'.

We will get the board game "Risk", play war and keep ourselves busy!

What a coincidence! Look what else is on that same page!

 

[Charade]

Still don't care. Stand in front of (and shoot at) a tank coming at you and you could get run over. What did you expect the tank driver to do? Honestly. Stop the tank? Go around? Blast them with his canon? Fart in their general direction?

Like I said. War is hell.

Oh boy, we may get a perp walk with cheney and albertohttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,454965,00.html

A Texas judge has set an arraignment for Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and other officials accused of involvement in prisoner abuse.

Presiding Judge Manuel Banales said Wednesday he will allow them to waive arraignment or have attorneys present rather than appear in person Friday.

Banales also said he would issue summonses, not warrants. That allows them to avoid arrest and the need to post bond.

Willacy County District Attorney Juan Guerra accuses Cheney, Gonzales, a state senator and others of involvement in prisoner abuse at a federal detention center in south Texas.

Defense attorney Tony Canales accuses Guerra of "prosecutorial vindictiveness" and not following procedure.

Then they are going to have to make room for me and thousands of other Vanguard investors. It is going to be a crowded courtroom!
