Cheney: Gitmo or Death

Former President, er, Vice President Dick Cheney said in a speech Monday, June 1, that the only alternative to tossing suspected terrorists in prison at Guantanamo Bay was to kill them.

The 240 prisoners left at Guantanamo, he said, are "the worst of the worst" — including alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Muhammed — who would gladly become suicide bombers to kill more Americans.

"If you don't have a place where you can hold these people, the only other option is to kill them, and we don't operate that way," he said.

Really? The only alternative?
