That is not a great way to spread democracy. If there is indisputable evidence that prisoners were involved in 9/11, then by all means they should be prosecuted. But if there is no evidence...
...They're very well treated down there. They're living in the tropics. They're well fed." DICK CHENEY, U.S. Vice President, defending the treatment of prisoners in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in light of allegations of inmate abuse and unjust detention
