Barack Obama: Dick Cheney was 'wrong'

President Barack Obama told NPR on Monday that former Vice President Cheney was "wrong" in his tough critique of the new administration's policy on detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

NPR says that Obama said, "On whether former Vice President Dick Cheney’s comments complicate the Obama administration’s efforts to create a new path forward on Guantanamo":

"Well, he also happens to be wrong. Right? And last time, immediately after his speech, I think there was a fact-check on his speech that didn’t get a very good grade. Does it make it more complicated? No, because I think these are complicated issues. And there is a legitimate debate to be had about national security.

The interview was taped Monday afternoon in the White House library, with NPR hosts Michele Norris and Steve Inskeep.
