Cheney receiving kudos for standing his ground

It is about time a Republican stood his ground. Americans are responding positively to former Vice President Dick Cheney as he stands up for terrorism policies implemented after 9/11 by the Bush administration that have kept this country safe since that time.

Mr. Cheney, coming under withering attacks from Democrats, is being lauded by others including the American public, according to the Washington Times:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney's sweeping indictment of administration policy changes on the handling of terrorism-suspect detainees has thrown President Obama on the defensive and scored points for the vice president and his party, according to pollsters and political analysts.

While Mr. Cheney has come under increasing fire from Democrats for charging that Mr. Obama's policies have made the country more vulnerable to future terrorist attacks, polls show a majority of Americans side with him on using aggressive interrogation methods on high value al Qaeda prisoners and are against moving them from the detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to maximum-security facilities in the U.S.

It's not Republican ... it's not Democrat ... it's American.
