Stupid or Anti-American: You make the call

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is outraged by the treatment of terrorists held at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba (known as Gitmo). According to Senator Durbin, terrorists at Gitmo who may have critical information are aggressively questioned about plans for future al Qaeda attacks. He says they are forced to listen to loud music, wear handcuffs and leg irons, and sit in rooms where the air conditioning is turned up and down. Durbin labels this torture and compares American soldiers to Nazis who murdered 12 million. He compares Gitmo to communist Gulags where more than 20 million were killed. When given the chance to apologize for his outrageous and dishonest comparisons, Durbin stubbornly defends the slander.

Both...

A retraction and apology could make it stupid only.

Without both, the anti-American tag rings true.

Easy, general rule.

The higher on the chain of command, the more just plain anti-US. The lower, the more just plain "stupid" (or ignorant, clueless, whatever).

Of course, I know a lot of "low level" Dems who truly - whether they admit it or not - just hate America. Specifically, the Constitution.

Someone remind me when Durbin said he didn't know if the email were true as Landrith asserts. I missed that story. Could use a link. Thanks!!!
