#1 From TFA: Democrats have said Guantanamo Bay was contributing to a US image problem in the Muslim world.

And democrats all want to look good for their bosses, right?

"The stain of Guantanamo has become the primary recruiting tool for our enemies," Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy said.

Actually, Pat, I suspect the left is the primary recruiting tool for the nation's enemies.

Cheney said it was his feeling that "the track record there is on the whole pretty good, and that this is an essential part of our strategy of prevailing and winning in the ongoing war on terror".

"Now, does this hurt us from the standpoint of international opinion? I, frankly, don't think so. And my own personal view of it is that those who are most urgently advocating that we shut down Guantanamo probably don't agree with our policies anyway," Cheney said.

Any questions why I voted for this guy? Just outstanding.

#2 defends Guantanamo. Sigh. Defends. I'm just surprised they left the quote marks off the word detention.

Score one for the democrats. Looks like they've won this battle.

#3 And Attica is still in operation how many years after? Certainly the Dem's have controlled the state house and governorship since then to close such a terrible facility.
