(6-16) Mr. DURBIN. What I have said is, if you were asked, without being told where this might have occurred, as I said here directly in the RECORD, you might conclude that it was done by one of those repressive regimes because that was the kind of heavy-handed tactic they used, the kind of inhumane treatment in which they engaged. You would be surprised to learn that according to the FBI, it was something that occurred at Guantanamo in a facility under the control of the United States of America.
WRONG!!
Anyone see the word "MIGHT" in his original quote?
(6-14) Durbin: "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."
Long time no see, MM.
Since the state of Illinois continues to move EVER FURTHER from the mainstream of middle America (reference it's two Democratic senators and it's current status as a SOLD BLUE STATE in Presidential elections--Durbin's outrageous comments actually DO reflect the liberal consensus in this liberal state--which continues its steady movement further to the far left.
It's so sad that even now--he refuses to see and acknowledge how harmful his comments are to those serving our country in uniform. So sad.
Great catch. These liberal idiots always have some BS stunt up there sleeve when they get called on something they did.
Nice catch.
Are you saying that "At least 10 prisoners have died at Gitmo?"
We are talking about Gitmo here, are we not?
How many prisoners have died at Gitmo?
It doesn't matter if he throws the word might in there, it's still an outrageous statement. ESAD Durbin!
and MORE pubbies should have standed up with power and strength in their voices and not just a slap on the wrist from McClellan. I like McClellan but in this instance we needed Ari.
In fact, NO prisoners have died at Guantanamo (NONE), but the Pentagon has acknowledged five instances of abuse or irreverent handling of the Koran, the holy book of Muslims.
Next step?...Durbin denies the Holocaust?
Nice catch BUMP!!
I wonder why it is not reported (coff coff) in the lame stream media is what those terrorists at Gitmo try to do to the guards. Why doesn't someone report on the feces under the fingernails of the prisoners that they try to scratch the guards with. Why doesn't someone report on the attempts to bite and otherwise compromise the guards. Why doesn't anyone besides Rush tell us how well the terrorists are fed. My husband wished he could eat so well.............
Excellent catch. Maybe someone should start a clock to see how long it takes for any, and I mean any, Democrat to condemn these remarks.
bttt
The Democrats really have come unhinged.
dick turban doesn't even have the strength of his own stupid convictions ... what a sissy ... what a girly-man
I always count on a Leftist to make false allegations.
Thanks for being so dependable.
If you believe that you are a complete idiot!
I tried to rewrite Durbin's name, last night and this is what came out... "Senator Turd-bin".
