Obama fires back at former Vice President Dick Cheney's charge that his plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and end the torture of terrorism suspects has made the U.S. less safe:
"How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn't made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment." (CBS)
No, we haven't been made safer. I mean just because we havent been attacked again since 9-11...that means nothing. And I agree- people sworn to destroy our country are going to be even more "anti-American" when you fight back. Better not to piss them off and just put our heads on the chopping block. Fitting this interview took place on cBS.
