RAYMONDVILLE, Texas (AP) -- A judge in Texas has dismissed indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Administrative Judge Manuel Banales ruled Monday that the indictments were improperly returned by a Willacy County grand jury.

The indictment against Cheney alleged that his personal investment in the Vanguard Group, which invests in private prison companies, made him culpable in alleged prisoner abuse at privately run federal detention centers.

The judge also dismissed indictments against two district judges, two special prosecutors and the district clerk, saying the prosecutor was both the alleged victim and the person presenting the cases.

Texas needs more judges with courage and integrity. This case was fowled up from the start. The Prosecutor was even threatened with death. It's a shame that people like Cheney, Gonzales, Rumsfeld and Rove can bully their way to whatever they want, and our Government is actually afraid of them.
