Some have been abused. Most have lost hope.
Will you look away and allow this to continue?

For more than six years, the U.S. has been holding prisoners and denying their rights to a fair trial.
Some have been abused. Most have lost hope.
Will you look away and allow this to continue?
Or will you stand up for what’s right?

A South Texas grand jury has returned multi-count indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers:
The indictment accuses Cheney and Gonzales of engaging in organized criminal activity. It criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies.
Gonzales is accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation into abuses at the federal detention centers.
