No, Cheney was NOT “the decider”
Look to the USSC and their decision to grant GITMO detainees Constitutional rights, and the actions of numerous liberal judges and lawyers that freed these people on legal technicalities because the Bush admin was undercut at every juncture by our own legal system
The Saudi program did NOT receive “1500 GITMO prsioners”- it received only a select number of detainees who were Saudi, based on promises hy the Saudi govt to rehab them- they failed, or lied, or both, to Pres Bush
some background for you- and it sounds like you need to dig for more and educate yourself a lot more

Nicely done. In only, what? Ten minutes? It’s like you were psychic or something and just waiting for the comment. ;-)
