Many Republicans will be mad and the public will be surprised. President Obama will apply Justice to the detainees and we will learn what really happen at Gitmo. The surprise will be many of the detainees are innocent and captured under false information to the CIA. It was a case of rush to arrrest and rush to judgement only to find out later it was a mistake. It's to late for 98 detainees who were tortured to death but the US did realize it and gave the bodies back to the familes and we paid cash for murdering them. Cheney knows the information will come out so he is having his loyal Democrat friends push to excuse his crimes and move on.
