Larvatus Prodeo

From Crooks & Liars:

Not much info in the piece because the information is not public yet, but a DA has indicted Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez and a few others on charges that are related to corruption in the private prison system following an inmate’s death. And not surprisingly, there’s some profiteering involved.

While there’s a lot of sentiment around regarding war crimes prosecutions for the Bushies, that’s always been completely outside the bounds of possibility. But the extent of dodginess of some of their dealings domestically does make it probable that facts will be uncovered, allegations made and indictments issued. However, it’s also highly likely that George W. Bush will use his power of presidential pardon on leaving office to spare his apparatchiks. Nevertheless, it may well be that much of the routine criminality that appears to be part of the modus operandi of the Republican military-industrial complex will be exposed and on the public record.

Update: More on the indictment from Discourse.net here and here.
