Round one goes to Cheney

As predicted round one goes to Cheney. A large majority - 65% - of Americans do not want Gitmo closed. The lesson here is to avoid listening to the MSM when it gets a hold of a meme (Cheney unpopular! Cheney bad!) that does not hold up to even cursory examination. Much less a basic gut check. Disliking Cheney does not equate to distrusting him on national security. The MSM and Obama-sphere exhibited its usual thoughtless glee in attacking Cheney every time he spoke. Most Americans agree with Cheney on Gitmo. It will be interesting to see how far Obama pushes the "close Gitmo" meme. One is within reason to wonder if he really ever intended to close it.

(Disclosure - I am in the minority on this issue.)
