Cheney on Club Gitmo

Jump to Comments

Cheney, as the chief of transition, infested the Bush administration with the Neo-fascists (they call themselves Neo-conservatives) who have been dying to invade Iraq since the early 1990s. Go to the Project for the New American Century website and read all about it.

I should also note that almost none of the New Amercian Centurions, who are so anxious to send our brave military personnel into harm’s way on dubious, poorly planned missions, ever served their country. In fact, it has been reported that professional military personnel refer to Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Libby, Leith, and etc. as “chickenhawks”.

Cheney Says Detainees Are Well Treated

By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Agence France-Presse) – Vice President Dick Cheney said on Thursday that prisoners at the detention camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, had everything they could possibly want and were well fed and well treated as they lived in the “tropics.”

Mr. Cheney dismissed calls to close the facility, which holds terrorism suspects. “They got a brand new facility down at Guantánamo,” Mr. Cheney said in an interview with CNN. “We spent a lot of money to build it. They’re very well treated down there.”

“They’re living in the tropics,” he added. “They’re well fed. They’ve got everything they could possibly want. There isn’t any other nation in the world that would treat people who were determined to kill Americans the way we’re treating these people.”

Mr. Cheney categorized the prisoners as “terrorists,” “bomb makers” and “facilitators of terror” who would “go back to trying to kill Americans” if freed.

Former President Bill Clinton has become the most prominent critic of the base in Cuba. “It is time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused,” Mr. Clinton said in an interview published in Monday’s editions of The Financial Times.
