"I think this is a case where it may have hit AP's desk before it hit ours," a Cheney aide told FOX News, referring to The Associated Press.
EARLIER From AP: Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on state charges involving federal prisons in a South Texas county that has been a source of bizarre legal and political battles under the outgoing prosecutor.
