You are right about the Constitution. I'm just thinking that without our military, we'd be sipping tea this afternoon and saluting Queen Elizabeth (or speaking Japanese).

A Durbin spokesman said Wednesday that the senator did not plan to apologize for the comments. The senator issued a statement saying it's the administration that should apologize "for abandoning the Geneva Conventions and authorizing torture techniques that put our troops at risk and make Americans less secure."You'd think our side would have this kind of moxy, not being hamstrung by being quite as morally corrupt as are their opponents.

"authorizing torture techniques that put our troops at risk and make Americans less secure."
Yeah, right now those terrorists just cut off American's heads and blow them up. We wouldn't want to do anything that might actually "put our troops at risk".

I posted this on a different thread, but I have this suggestion: honey and fire ants. Just the nether regions for a start, with arms tied to a tree.

Yes, and I want to hear directly from Bush and Cheney! And, again!, where are our "Republican" senators?? They should be blasting this chowder-head for his truly reprehensible and obscene comments!

That's very true. We can thank the U.S. military for safeguarding our rights, that's for sure. Sometimes I can't help myself for parsing sentences (English major).

The silence of Jewish organizations is interesting. Durbin just belittled those who died and suffered in the Holocaust by comparing what they went through with what the terrorists in Gitmo are going through. Usually, such comparisons draw loud condemnation from Jewish organizations.

lol, I think Bush should invite him over to the ranch, then take him out behind the wood shed and give him an attitude adjustment. This guy needs an old fashion Texas ass whoopin.

or some republican senator, have any of them spoken up?
They'll probably put up hard-hitting Orrin Hatch to the task...so he can use stern terms like "horsefeathers", etc.

Not only he is a traitor but he is also politically dumb. Accusing the US military of behaving like Nazis will greatly alienate this traitor idiot with 70% of the country.

Dick Durbin, Castro's sidekick for Cuba.
To: West Coast Conservative
Thank you Mr. Bush, now can we have this SOB arrested, jailed, and tried for treason. He has conspired to create injury to my son and others in Iraq. He has also tried to subvert this country in a time of war.

Why doesn't the "senator" put his money where his mouth is and go to Gitmo and see exactly what goes on. Then while he's there he can visit his friends!

there are FACTS there to refute about the Geneva convention. Cornyn from Texas has been over this ground before but it needs to be hammered in that a U.S. Senator from Illinois doesn't know what he is talking about in regards to WHO is being held at Gitmo as it relates to the Geneva Convention.

Durbin is performing to his party's specs: He's being seditious. Bush's people are performing to their party specs: They're being limp. In time of war for a senator to be blatantly adhering to the enemy, indeed for a whole party to be doing so, says to me that the members of that party are traitors and should be treated as such.

Yes, Senator Sessions was out there on TV this morning calling them on it. Let's hope he is not the lone voice.
