President Cheney: No Plans to Shut Down Gitmo
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050613/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_guantanamo;_ylt=AqnkOSzzCnyntBrIbDYXoF.s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2MTQ3MTFjBHNlYwN0cw--

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney, reacting to a growing chorus of calls to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay where terrorism suspects are held, says there are no present plans to do so. "The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people," he said.

"I mean, these are terrorists for the most part. These are people that were captured in the battlefield of Afghanistan or rounded up as part of the al-Qaida network," he said in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

-----and from the ever sickening Lindsey Graham----

"Guantanamo Bay is a useful purpose in the war on terror, but under the current regime, under the current circumstances, it's not effectively working," Graham said.

Still, he said, the U.S. needs a place to interrogate these detainees. "Nobody's going to say move it to Florida, South Carolina, or Vermont, so I think Cuba is as good a place as any," he said.

3. Lovely and absolutely hilarious!!!
"The important thing to remember here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people,"

"Because you see I put them there, and I'm a really bad, evil, emporer."

:evilgrin:

:rofl: :rofl:

So wait the real reason they are there is you thought they were bad people Mr. Cheney, when in reality you are the bad person and love to imprison innocents? I could see you being in charge of the detention center camps at Auschstag now.
