(CNN) — A grand jury in south Texas indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney Geneneral Alberto Gonzales on separate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers, Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra told CNN Tuesday. On the southern tip of Texas, Willacy County is on the United States-Mexico border. Democratic state Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr. is also charged in the indictment. Michael R. Cowen, an attorney for Lucio, issued a statement calling Guerra a “one man circus.” Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said, “The vice president has not received an indictment.” |
