He's now making a disicion on whether to close Guantanamo. It looks like he's going to close it. Why did he have to drag it out and make an @ss out of himself for such a long time. It was inevitably going to be closed.
And the resistence to closing it seems to be that Cheney didn't want to move the prisioners. He didn't want them to get undeserved legal rights. Who made him judge and jury??

He fights everything to the bitter end because he is a very, very stubborn man. Some people take that as an admirable quality. I don't. One has to change your outlook in view of the evolving situation.
What's your next question? What does Bush have against stem cell research? That's another good one. And he makes his announcement with some poor, disabled girl by his side. How tactless can a person be?
This is the kicker. Cheney was "concerned with giving the prisoners legal rights" by moving them to US soil.
That is an indication as to the mentality of our #2.
And that should ring as scary to all of us.
I guess some people think it's ok to just detain people without any judicial process whatsoever.
I don't get that.

"Cheney's office and the Justice Department have been dead set against the step, arguing that moving "unlawful" enemy combatant suspects to the U.S. would give them undeserved legal rights."

The Constitution.
I appreciate his being "steadfast" when I agree with him, and despise his "stubbornness" when I disagree.
Bush is operating under more restrictions than FDR did in WWII, or any other wartime leader.
These terrorists do not qualify for the rights some seek to give them. what next, Miranda warnings on the battlefield?
I really wish people would educate themselves more, rather than react in a knee-jerk, Pavlovian fashion to hysterical reports.

He is the President of the United States, so that makes him judge and jury, he makes decisions every day that you could not understand. take a look around yourself, life is not that bad,,,give him a break and learn to think for your self.

Our enemies should not be afforded any rights till a jury can decide what to do. Why did we pick them up? Because they are our ENEMIES.
And I'm liberal democrat.
