Subject: Cheney *and* Yale invested in Corrections Corporations of

I just thought I would point out that Yale also is
involved in Corrections Corporation of America.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=yale+corrections+corporation+of+America&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

If there is some creepy, diabolical endeavor going on
anywhere in the world, there you will find Yale's involvement.

Which is why they, Yale, produce no scholars and brought no
innovation to Corrupticut. Nor only did they produce the amazingly
stupid Bushies, they cranked out the Neocons, too. And think about
Cheney- he was so evil (stupid) he dropped out of Yale, LOL.

DAA-AAaamn. I would be as embarrassed as hell to say I had
a degree from Yale. That means, well, the person is likely to
be a cross between the Sarah Palin-ites and the morons who
pretended to know what was going on on Wall Street all these
years. Ascot-wearing White Trash. Phonies. Nouveau Riche.

No class.

Hopes media won't 'let it die'

Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra spoke to two Texas
television
stations Wednesday night regarding his investigation of injustice
within the prison
systems which led to the indictment by a Texas grand jury of Vice
President Dick
Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, along with other
officials.

Cheney's stake in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the
private prison
companies that run the detention centers, was cited in the indictment.
Cheney is
accused of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults"
on detainees through his ownership interest.

Gonzales is accused of using his position during his time as Attorney
General to
block an investigation into abuses at the detention centers, located
in south Texas.

Democratic state Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. is also named in the
indictment, Willacy
County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra said. Lucio's attorney,
Michael R.
Cowen, called Guerra a "one-man circus." "In the March 2008 Democratic
Primary," he added, "70 percent of the Willacy County voters elected
to
remove Juan Guerra...Now, with only a few weeks left in his term, Mr.
Guerra has
again chosen to misuse his position in an attempt to seek revenge on
those who he
sees as political enemies."

Guerra told KVEO 23, an NBC affiliate in Texas, that "elected
officials were
embedded into the prison business and that it goes all the way to the
top."

"Now that these indictments have seen the light of day, Guerra says,
it's
important they are not quashed," the station reported.

"I'm going to try and do what I can do," Guerra told KVEO. "Impose
it to you guys, and educate you guys, so you don't let it die."

On ABC affiliate KRGV Newschannel 5, Guerra showed "records that he
says could
be used to prove Dick Cheney is guilty of criminal activity."

"Greed will get you discovered and arrested every time, and that's
what
happened to Cheney," Guerra said.

Excerpts from KRGV's report:

####

Guerra says he went through Cheney's financial records and the prison
companies'
financial records and found the connection. The three top prison
companies Guerra
researched were Corrections Corporation of America, GEO Group and
Cornell. Those
three have the Vanguard Group in common, which is an investment
company that puts
money into all three prison companies.

"We knew Vanguard was the key," said Guerra.

Guerra showed us the Vice President's financial disclosure from last
year and
it shows he owned shares in the Vanguard Group. Guerra estimates
Cheney has $85
million invested in Vanguard and in turn, into the prison companies.

"The problem you have is he now has a direct interest," said Guerra.
And
according to Guerra, it's a direct interest in making sure the prison
companies
stay in business.
