Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra announced Tuesday that a Texas Grand Jury indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on seperate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers. The AP reported that the indictment stems from Cheney’s investment in the Vanguard Group-an investment mangement group that reportedly has interests in the prison companies running the detention centers. It also charges that Gonzales halted an investigation into abuse at the detention centers while he was  attorney general.

But Democratic Senator Eddie Lucio, another named in the charges has a different story.Michael Cowen, the senator’s attorney issued a statement calling Guerra a “one man circus.”

“In the March 2008 Democratic primary,” the statement said, “70% of voters elected to remove Juan Guerra as Willacy County District Attorney. Now, with only a few weeks left in his term, Mr.Guerra has again chosen to misuse his position in an attempt to seek revenge on those who he sees as political enemies.

Cheney spokeswoman, Megan Mitchell said, “The vice president has not received an indictment.”
