...far better than by 'any other government on the face of the Earth? 

Is Dick Cheney REALLY trying to say that our treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo (no charges, no rights to lawyers, held indefinitely while being subjected to physical and psychological torture), is better - no not just better, but FAR better - than how prisoners are treated in Sweden? Switzerland? Iceland? Canada? Australia? The British West Indies?

That's 100% frozen concentrated evil.

Amid Concerns, Cheney Defends Guantanamo - New York Times: "Responding to calls by some Democrat and Republican lawmakers to shut down the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Vice President Dick Cheney today strongly defended the treatment and detention of prisoners there, saying that the detainees have been treated far better than by 'any other government on the face of the Earth.'"
