Critics Distract With Outspoken Ex Vice President Comments
Journal Star notes former vice president Dick Cheney has again criticized the Obama administration in a CNN interview arguing safety concerns over Gitmo closure and civilian trials. The piece argues the tradition of quiet post‑office respect is being broken and that Cheney adds no new argument. Leaf Chronicle reports Defense Secretary Gates announcing phased stop‑loss retirement, with units deploying from August to January. It credits the move as a sign the Iraq war is winding down and boosts soldiers’ freedoms after enlistment ends.
