Per the Times, Cheney says detainees at Guantanamo are well treated.  In fact, he went on, they greet the guards as liberators.

NO, he didn't say that.  Darn it.

Yeah, but shouldn't the NYT have mentioned Cheney’s discussion of the the throes thingy? Some in the media have made much of the difference between Abizaid and Cheney.

Huh, Kid? It was on the front page today! In the very first line of the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/24/politics/24military.html.

Seems to me the media's got another "gotcha!" moment.

I'm still a little blissed out from my dehydration treatments at Camp Schiavo, but once they wear off I might give Gitmo a try.
