Remember Dana Carvey's version of Bush I on Saturday Night Live and his refrain that something was "bad, it's bad!"? Maybe Dick Cheney's been watching the old reruns on E! or something. As he defended the quickly deteriorating situation at Gitmo this weekend, Dick actually came to this conclusion:
The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people.OK, Dick - who exactly has made that determination? You? Rummy? Nancy Grace (she certainly thinks she has an inside line on the truth). A detached neutral judicial factfinder? I doubt seriously it's the third. If we even pretend to be a nation of laws and a champion of justice in the world, we cannot continue to detain people indefinitely without charge.
