    It would be really great to see some accountability for the current administration. I believe it would go a long way towards redeeming America's soul for many many moral perversions that define the Bush/Cheney administrations.

    Don't think much will come of this even though I'd like to see both thrown in prison for their actions the last 8 years.

    The smart thing to do would be to indict Cheney and Bush in Indian Country. Seeing as how they're considered soverign nations they would have no problem issuing warrants. Then Cheney and Bush would forever have to avoid traveling through any reservations. Granted those reservations represent less than 4% of what the Indians used to be caretakers over, but that's still part of the country where those criminals could be arrested.

        innocent peole can't be pardoned, and these two are innocent until proven guilty. which means Bush can't pardon them unless they are found guilty before he leaves office. which won't happen.
        after jan 20, these two clowns can't be pardoned and can't use the ridiculous, wholly unAmerican, I'm-above-the-law excuse of executive privilige.

        I believe it will take the World Court to ever hold anyone from the Bush administration accountable for the crimes committed over the past 8yrs. Since Bush can and will pardon every "buddy" currently under indictment, as well as those who were already convicted of certain crimes (like those involved in the Valerie Plame outting), there is little that our courts can or will do. What is the point when the pardon pen is so prolific?

        Its nice to see someone finally trying to do something, but I fear it will be made moot the day Bush leaves office.

        Welcome to the wild west. In 50 years, they'll make movies about the shoot 'em up early days of the 21st.

        How is it that Cheney has any ownership of freaking prisons in Texas????????? Is that possible?

        Wait, what am I saying, we are talking about perhaps the most vicious freak ever to hold public office, who thinks nothing of commiting the worst war crime ever in the history of the country.

        ROTFLMAO
        This will go nowhere. The president and vice president both always put their holdings in a blind trust. They do not know what they hold from one day to the next. The money that is directly invested is in a mutual fund.

        How many of you own that same mutual fund. If you do then you all should be indicted as well. Shame on you horrendous people investing in a mutual fund that invests in this kind of thing. You should know better. LOL

        That prosecutor knows better. It is a political stunt. This proves the contention that a good prosecutor can get an indictment against a ham sandwich.

        We need to restore an old American value. That value is making "crime not pay." That is not allowing criminals to be executors of our laws.

        Gonzalez routinely short-circuited due process by failing to prosecute. He loosely interpreted the Constitution to ignore individual rights guaranteed therein.

        I can see no better a statement by the next administration than re-instating our institution of justice.

Just because they are members of our govrmet staff makes them no differnt then one of us. If we pay for our crimes then they to should pay for their crimes,makes no differnt who that person is. they already put the shaft to us. Why shouldnt they have to pay?

            This administration has been very "creative" with our laws.

            "retroactive immunity for telecoms that broke the laws"
            "habeaus corpus" does not apply to all Americans

            The next may be pardons for crimes not yet exposed.

              ALL LIBS ON THIS STORY ARE PATHETIC.

              Read the following from the story and then go fly a kite.
              ---------------------------------
              Several other related indictments were brought against a host of public officials in what one lawyer called a circus act by a local prosecutor seeking revenge in his final weeks in office.

              "We look forward to having the opportunity to have an independent, competent prosecutor review the facts, and are confident that once that happens these baseless charges will be dismissed," said Michael Cowen, who represents Texas state senator Eddie Lucio.

              No rush to try the two, or even charge 'em.

              Lock them up in gitmo for a few years until the tell what they know. Can't afford to have the terrorists running loose...

              Actually a better strategy would have been to remain silent about all Bush and Cheney's crimes until inaugaration day. That way Bush couldn't use his pardon pen.

              I can't believe there are any comments on this story at all. However I have to give this comment the award for being most pertinent and worthy of the article:

              "BREAKING NEWS New York Jury indictes Ham Sandwich, the indictment came after two weeks of delibaration following allegations of a conspiracy to use mayo instead of mustard....BREAKING NEWS."
