I guess this confirms who was really in charge of the executive branch.

Cheney: “I think Guantanamo has been very well run.”

This from the prick who narrowly avoided an indictment stemming from poorly run domestic prisons that he holds an interest in. Ironic that after torturing these Gitmo captives so gleefully for years, the WH finds out that no evidence gained from coersion is admissible. Go figure.

Cheney: “…once you go out and capture a bunch of terrorists, as we did in Afghanistan and elsewhere, then you’ve got to have some place to put them.”

So they are all terrorists in Cheney’s eyes, guilty until proven innocent right Dick? And even when proven innocent, we’ll hold them indefinitely anyway right, Dick?

Also one last point:
Tim, go Cheney yourself raw with a screwdriver you pathetic piss-soaked brownshirt. Despite the steady flow of insider evidence that Gitmo has been a disgrace and that torture DOES NOT gleen reliable intel you still rush in here, tripping over yourself to try to defend the indefensible. You are a pathetic excuse for a patriotic American as you stand against so many of the principles that this Nation was founded on. Your misguided sense of Americanism is simply veiled racism, ignorance and a false comfort that the Republican Party gives a shit about you or American ideals.

The detainees at Gitmo were and still are treated humanely. The fact that they are NOT entitled to protections accorded true POW’s hasn’t stopped us from treating themn as if they were!

YOU are such an ignorant pig and subhuman punk. Not to mention a liar and a fool. We are violating the Geneva convention for not letting a competent tribunal determine their status. EITHER they are POWS or they are entitled to a court hearing to determine if it is legal for them to be held at ALL. There is NO provision in international law for a country to just lock someone up forever with no recourse. The Geneva Convention says DIRECTLY that no one is outside the Law. You didnt KNOW that because you are ignorant you dont CARE because you have no decency. You are a flat out knee crawling thug with the morals of a weasel on speed as Hunter S Thompson once said. All Americans should be ashamed that you are one of us. All human beings should be ashamed you are one of our species

Once again Timmeh the moron doesnt know what he is talking about. IT IS ALREADY ILLEGAL. The convention against torture statute makes torture illegal and the US PROSECUTED Japanese officers for torturing OUR soldiers with it during WW2. Congress has no sack. Bush and Cheney should both do a couple of decades in prison for their warcrimes. YOU should just be shunned by all humanity for your ignorance and lack of basic decency.

Club Gitmo! Where else can you get food properly prepared and your Koran delivered right to your cell?

Wonder why?

Your post has been flagged for abuse. Your comments are truly disgusting and a disgrace.

President Obama WILL NOT give up the precedent-setting expansion of Presidential power as crafted by his predecessor.

the V.P. is right on that score.

They did more than spit on him. Women stood over his dead body to urinate on him. Those oppressed Italians really knew how to treat a dead despot. Good for them.
