Ex-President, Others In White House Wanted To Close Prison But Cheney Wanted "Status Quo"
(CBS) During his final years in office, President Bush said repeatedly he wanted to close the prison at Guantanamo where suspected terrorists were being held indefinitely without trial. It turns out it was his own vice president who stood in the way
In 2005, then Pentagon official Matthew Waxman was part of an unsuccessful attempt to close Guantanamo.
"The vice president was among those who were generally determined to stick to the status quo," Waxman said.
Now that President Obama has ordered it closed, Cheney has denounced the decision as naive.
"When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do everything they can to kill Americans, then I worry," Cheney said.

Thank you, Vice-President Cheney. President Bush...our Obama warm-up in more ways than originally thought.
SeeBS. Not a credible source.
Yea, right, CBS, whatever you say.
For pity sake, this is CBS and the article offers absolutely NO proof that former President Bush wanted Gitmo closed. None.
CBS...crapola.
Just lease 100 acres of norhtern Novaya Zemla and park them there.
Problem solved.
Gee. Ya think?
I Rather agree with you.
A CBS link from a McQueeg sychophant. I’ll pass.
NO QUESTION, THE BEST PART OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WAS THE VICE PRESIDENCY UNDER DICK CHENEY. THANK YOU MR. VP!!
LLS
point 1. the buck stops where? Bush kept Gitmo open.
point 2. “’When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do everything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,’ Cheney said.”
Simple, direct, and common-sensible. If only the current administration thought this way.
I’d want Gitmo closed, too.
In favor of a camp out in the middle of nowhere Alaska.
Good luck to hostile press getting there, and good luck to anyone escaping....
THE MEDIA CANNOT LET BUSH GO....everytime Obama is criticized, they bring up BUSH. Its a pathetic attempt to justify Obama’s stalinist behavior. IMPEACH OBAMA
Of course, duh. But it will be interesting to see the lengths they will go to...
I’d go for an uninhabitable island off the coast that is located in waters that are too cold to swim in. Banish them there and let ‘em rot.
This will make liberal’s heads explode. They are both pure evil, yet one of them disagreed with the other, making one of them good. What’s a moonbat to do!
Never believe CBS.
Unless, of course, they’re bashing Bush.
Have I got it about right?
