... That's the first time I saw anything about that. It's from Lyndon Larouche site, so take with a grain fo salt, but perhaps we could track down the indictment referenced here on this to see what it says. Seems like some guilt by association or inference here, but nevertheless perhaps some interesting questions to explore.

Cheney and the Coup Plot in Turkey
In what may prove to be part of the push-back against Cheney's war drive, Turkish prosecutors have publicly linked the American Vice President with a recently exposed right-wing coup plot against the Erdogan government. Cheney's role was exposed in a July 15 criminal indictment against former top military officials and others linked to the Ergenekon gang, who plotted a "strategy of tension" coup against the government.
The 2,500-page indictment shows:
In February 2002, two Cheney advisors met with the Washington representative of the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, Elcin Poyrazlar. Cheney's aides reviewed the prospects for instability in Turkey, and for a post-Erdogan regime, more friendly to the war party.
On March 14, 2008, ten days before Cheney was scheduled to visit to Turkey, a suit was brought against the governing party, the AKP, charging that it had violated the Constitution and should be banned (the Supreme Court has rejected that demand, but subjected the AKP to fines against the promotion of Islamic law, which is banned under the Constitution). The clear aim of the suit was to provoke civil war that could lead to a coup.
On March 21, 2008, the publisher of Cumhuriyet was interrogated by Turkish prosecutors, on the meeting with Cheney's people in Washington. Clearly there was concern that the coup schemes of the Ergenekon group (see last week's EIR) had Cheney's blessing.
On March 24, 2008, Cheney arrived in Ankara, to press the Turkish government for cooperation against Iran. Turkey refused, just as it refused to allow the U.S. and Britain to use its territory to stage the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
