Tropical Qaeda
In the process of defending the U.S.'s detainment of "enemy combatants" in Cuba, Vice President Dick Cheney may have inadvertantly appealed to over-worked terrorists eager for a respite from the dusty tedium of insurgency.
"They got a brand-new facility down at Guantanamo," Cheney told CNN yesterday. "We spent a lot of money to build it." With its seemingly Club Med-worthy location, the balmy Carribean lock-up may be on its way to becoming the "it" spot for recreation in 2005. As the summer progresses, expect to see throngs of battle-weary terrorists and shallow-pocketed vacationers contacting military authorities to take advantage this unbeleivable holiday bargain.
"They've got everything they could possibly want," boasted Cheney with the straightest of faces. "They're living in the tropics."
