Closing Arguments: Cheney on Guantanamo Bay
In an exclusive interview with ABC News Monday, outgoing vice-president Dick Cheney defended the Bush administration’s controversial anti-terror policies — including the use of waterboarding — and the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
"If you’re going to close Guantanamo, what are you going to do with those prisoners?" Cheney asked rhetorically, adding that the prison should not be closed until the war on terror is over.
So we ask you: Do you agree with Vice President Cheney that Guantanamo should not be closed until the war on terror is over? Or should Barack Obama move swiftly to close the prison — action he has indicated he intends to do?
Tell us what you think.

Thesse thugs need to disappear from the public eye. After they have destroyed this country with their bogus war in Iraq, we really don’t care much about their opinion on any issue.

On the Quantanamo Bay, I feel and my friends also that we should not give it up and that prisoners should be kept there, they also should be tried by Military Courts for war crimes and punished by firing squad or hanging.
I just don’t understand what alot of the American people are thinking, would they rather these idiots come to our shores and have war here in the USA, they think it can’t happen, but it sure can, look at this world, its going down drain, most of us in America are at fault by not setting our congressman and senators straight, we the people are the power and voice of America not them, most of them act like communists and are selling our country right out from under us.
People voted for a President with no experience and then he turns around and puts most of Bill Clinton’s rejects into office, what a clamity this is going to be, you call this change? Do you kow what liberals do to the America way of life? Come on wake up!
Alot of the black people voted for Obama because he was black, I know as I talked to a lot of them that told me this, others voted for a change but they never even thought of the outcome that could destroy America, they also voted because they didn’t like what Bush was all about, a President isn’t perfect either, a lot has to do who you choose on your team just like a football team, get the best and work it together both Republicans and Democrats need to start working together for the American people and not for themselves, lying and filling their pockets. the bail out is a disaster and we are headed for some big problems with this.
We also need to make our companies stay in the USA, China makes everything and it is junk and we still have to pay a high price for it, alot of it has killed our children and people.
Immigration, get control of it, stop it, it can be done but the congress and senate are not trying, they make laws for them and crap on the American people, we need to help our own first and not handouts either.
I thank everyone of those service men that our serving their country and my friends and I do pray for them. I am proud of our servicemen and putting their lives on the line and what they our doing for our country. War is always going to be, go back thousands of years and just check out the record.
God is our Judge and many many billions of people are going to be judge and then it will be too late. The American people have lost their common sense in what makes sense and to do the right thing.
Keep Guantanamo Bay it is necessary, we are fighting a war of Terror, look at the President of Iran, complete idiot and hateful. Why are we also supplying all these countries with food and money and we do our own American people injustice, the American people need to wake up and put term limits on these congressmen and senators.
Vice President Cheney is right America.

We jump the gun when we invaded Irag. Everyone associated with plotting against the U.S. was slam in Guantanamo Bay. Trials of Guantanamo Bay inmate can occured anywhere. Because of the cloud of mistreatment over inmate there, it should and ultimately will be closed.
