Is he serious? According to an article by Jon Ward of the Washington Times says that death is the only option for some detainees if the Gitmo facility is closed.
Everybody stand back...
Really? We don't operate that way? He better look back at his own suspect actions over the previous eight years before making that kind of statement. He neglects to mention that if we operated under the law and set the moral and ethical example for the rest of the world, we might not have as many enemies to begin with."If you're going to be engaged in a world conflict such as we are, such as the global war on terrorism, if you don't have a place where you can hold these people, your only other option is to kill them," Mr. Cheney said.
"And we don't operate that way."
And who's decision was it to hold them indefinitely? Oh, he must have forgotten. And those challenges? HE's the one spearheading them.The former vice president said that the Guantanamo Bay prison is "a fine facility" and that the White House will have a "very difficult" time closing it, because of the legal, political and diplomatic challenges associated with indefinite detention.

Cheney makes my head spin... right now innocent individuals are watching there one and only life slip by in a tiny military jail cell. no due process, no fair representation... and all he can worry about is that it's a fine facility and how we should kill them but that goes against our principals. No joke! So does holding people in inhumane prisons, torture, and not giving prisoners any ability to defend themselves!
I'd jump up and down and scream but i don't think that would do anything.
