Cheney says Guantanamo should stay open, waterboarding OK

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The Guantanamo 'war on terror' detention center should remain open indefinitely, Vice President Richard Cheney told ABC News in an interview Monday, while also defending the harsh interrogation method known as waterboarding.

Cheney was asked when the detention camp at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba can be "responsibly" be shut down. "Well, I think that that would come with the end of the war on terror," he told ABC.

And when is that? "Well, nobody knows," Cheney said. "Nobody can specify that."

In previous wars the United States has "always exercised the right to capture the enemy and then hold them till the end of the conflict. That's what we did in World War II with, you know, thousands, hundreds of thousands of German prisoners," Cheney said.

"The same basic principle ought to apply here in terms of our right to capture the enemy and hold them.

The other option, Cheney said, "is to turn them over to somebody else. A lot of them, nobody wants. I mean, there's a great resistance sometimes in the home countries to taking these people back into their own territory."

According to Cheney, some 30 detainees who were released from Guantanamo "ended up back on the battlefield again, and we've encountered them a second time around. But they've either been killed or captured in further conflicts with our forces."

Cheney also said he helped authorize interrogation methods used on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, an Al-Qaeda operative detained in Pakistan and sent to Guantanamo who has confessed to being a top planner of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States.

Sheikh Mohammed was subjected to a forced interrogation method that simulates drowning known as waterboarding.

"I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared, as the agency in effect came in and wanted to know what they could and couldn't do," Cheney said.

"And they talked to me, as well as others, to explain what they wanted to do. And I supported it," Cheney said.

ABC asked him if in hindsight he thought the tactics went too far. "I don't," Cheney said.

The Cheney interview is to air on ABC late Monday and early Tuesday, the network said, as it released an advanced transcript of the questions and answers~

a YOOOOOOOOGE asshole... or... da YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGEST asshole? (cont'd)

News item: Noting the burden placed on military families, the vice president said the biggest burden is carried by President George W. Bush, who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty.

Rudy Giuliani Does Business With Sheik Who Helped 9/11 Mastermind Elude FBI

Village Voice article: Rudy's Ties to a Terror Sheikh

Rudy is great judge of character: three wives, Bernie Kerik, terror sheikhs, George Steinbrenner...

OR:

Giuliani’s personal scandals take a turn for the worse

As New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons, according to previously undisclosed government records.

The documents, obtained by Politico under New York’s Freedom of Information Law, show that the mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed his tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants.

Neither is very surprising, but what really gets me about Rudy: what did he do on 9/11 and after that was so phokking great in the first place? Certainly, nothing he did prior to 9/11 helped thwart the attacks or prepare the city for disaster. He was seen on the streets after the bombings? That makes someone a hero? (Of course, he had nowhere to go since the anti-terror office was placed in the Trade Center.) Someone enlighten me here, throw me a bone...

My review: what a dick.

He even makes John Ashcroft look honorable. "Let the Eagle Soar," John, you earned it.

compassionate conservatism: an example

G-Dumb after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio on 1/1/06:

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself--not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."

Hmmm, i wonder what a large price to pay would be?

Here's anudder big-money Republican @$$hole i hate. HATE.

After Bush & Co., who let moral degenerate CEOs like this run wild, on the short list for @$$hole of the Year:

CNN Softballs Bob Murray…What about those documents?

Last week he said, "These are the worst mining conditions I've seen in fifty years..." Uh, dude, it's YOUR phokking mine, and YOU got the feds to let you do whatever the phokk you wanted to do, so who's fault is this? And safety? Yeah, i know, that shit costs money--but what's a few miners lives' lost, especially if they're Mexican...dat's da American Way, apparently. Well, Bushian, certainly. Go phokk yourself.

Another stupid, phokking thing he said right after the accident: "Without coal to manufacture our electricity, our products will not compete in the global marketplace against foreign countries…and people on fixed incomes will not be able to pay their electric bills... And every one of these global warming bills that has been introduced in Congress to date eliminates the coal industry and will increase your electric rates four to five-fold.” So let me see if i've got this straight: Better mine safety (which has nothing to do with global warming) is anti-American? Phokk you.

Oh yeah, his good buddy, Richard Stickler, head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, was a Bush recess appointment. Even the Republicans in congress didn't want this phokking guy.

Perjury and obstruction of justice in the matter of lying about cheating on your wife is an impeachable offense entirely worthy of bringing down governments (plus you're going to Hell -- quite a double-whammy! that oughta learn ya...). Perjury and obstruction of justice in the matter of lying about blowing the cover of a CIA agent for your own political gain in preserving the value of the lies you told to get a war started (see also: s#i+ blowing up)... feh... let's try to move on.
