The Guantanamo Hilton: "Veep Dick Cheney describes the Guantanamo detention center as if it were a state-of-the-art resort hotel—on the American Plan, of course.

Yes, guests are forced to take the meals along with the lodging, but this is a good thing, Cheney notes. Detainees aren’t gaunt and scrawny-looking like their relatives back in those poverty-stricken native villages. Lucky detainees!

Cheney talks about comfort, too. He rhapsodizes about the hot and cold running water, the showers the detainees might not have in their own homes.

Pretty soon we’ll be hearing about the sheets’ thread count."
