Washington , Feb. 6 : Former Vice President Dick Cheney's warnings about the risks of closing Guantanamo Bay prison and changing other Bush-era policies, has angered Democrats and some top counter-terrorism experts, who said Cheney was reviving the same scare tactics voters had rejected in electing Barack Obama.
Cheney made his comments in an interview this week with Politico in which he unyieldingly defended the detention facility and coercive interrogations of terrorism suspects
- and warned that changing course would invite another mass-casualty terror attack potentially worse than the ones on Sept. 11.
