Denver Post:  Rove faces cynics in Aspen  (sic)
Weight gain is the main problem at Guantanamo Bay, the Bush adviser tells a groaning audience.

But Rove expressed no regret about the widely unpopular war in Iraq.

Another member of the audience asked Rove about the controversial detention camp the United States keeps in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

"The president would like to close Gitmo," said Rove, who also declined to give a timetable for the camp's closure, saying it is holding "bad people" who will have to be detained elsewhere.

He downplayed the poor treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo that has been widely publicized.

"Our principal health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed them so well," he said as many in the audience shook their heads and groaned in unison.

Dammed Isaacson probably enjoyed it.  Now the Aspen Institute is just another deadly tank think.
