Cheney: U.S. Has No Plans to Close Gitmo

Terror suspects being held at Guantanamo Bay (search) are 'bad people" and there are good reasons why they're still being detained, Vice President Dick Cheney told FOX News in an interview to be aired at 9 p.m. EDT Monday night.

Although some Republicans are now calling for the naval base to be closed in order to avoid further media scrutiny, suspected terrorists will continue to be held there, Cheney said in an interview with Sean Hannity, co-host of FOX News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people," the vice president said. "I mean, these are terrorists for the most part. These are people that were captured in the battlefield of Afghanistan or rounded up as part of the Al Qaeda (search) network."
