(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."
I am going with . . .
SENATOR Dick bin Turd!
...maybe its that time of the month for him?
Let's make the "barefoot detainee" feel better. Turn off the rap music, and give him silver napkin rings at his next meals.
***
Then lets move Gitmo to northern Alaska!!!
The fact is that NO prisoners have been killed or died at Gitmo... And 10 out of how many thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq? The Nazis and communists set out to systematically kill MILLIONS, and accomplished their goals quite eficientally.
You neobolsheviks in this country are so blinded for your hatred of this President that you either a)have no sense of perspective or b)you believe every bit of the marxist propaganda that is thrown at you.
I've followed your idiocy on this forum for years, and you confirm one medical fact. A person can survive for extended periods of time with only a brain stem.
Gitmo called death camp
By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published June 16, 2005
The Senate's No. 2 Democrat has compared the U.S. military's treatment of a suspected al Qaeda terrorist at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay with the regimes of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Pol Pot, three of history's most heinous dictators, whose regimes killed millions.
In a speech on the Senate floor late Tuesday, Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, castigated the American military's actions by reading an e-mail from an FBI agent.
. . .
About 9 million persons, including 6 million Jews, died in Hitler's death camps, 2.7 million persons died in Stalin's gulags and 1.7 million Cambodians died in Pol Pot's scourge of his country.
No prisoners have died at Guantanamo . . . . "
For your lies, you and Dick bin Turd should be tarred, feathered, and hauled out of town on a rail.
Please link to your source that lists the 10 GITMO terrorists that died.
The below link comes from the Washington Times

"No prisoners have died at Guantanamo, and the Pentagon has acknowledged five instances of abuse or irreverent handling of the Koran, the holy book of Muslims"
Just because you wish it so doesn't make it true.
LOL. I spoke to some people in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri yesterday. I live in Pa. ALL OF THEM knew that this is all BULL!
Let the "barefoot detainee" ..... be a complainee. Most all Americans get the drift.
;-)
The audio from Durbin's speech should be broadcast over and over...
Ken,
What was that base you suggested yesterday?
HA! .. Durbin is toast and you know it
I have presumed that there have been no deaths at Gitmo. Please provide a source for your claim that at least 10 have died.
BTW, the fact that no one has died there is, in fact, amazing. No natural causes deaths, no suicides.
If what you said is even true, how does it compare to the MILLIONS of dead that were slaughtered in the holocaust, in Cambodia and on and on and on.....?
Wrap your mind around that MurryMom, though it's obvious you're incapable of doing such a thing.
If what you allege is true the MSM would be blasting it to the walls. They're not and for that reason, I don't believe your statement. Do you have proof of 10 deaths and if so, post ASAP.
Copperheads "Peace Democrats"
Republican Abraham Lincoln was able to win the 1860 presidential election largely because the Democratic party had torn itself into several factions and could offer no united opposition. In the North the Democrats divided into two factions- the War Democrats and the Peace Democrats. Neither group agreed with the way the Republican administration conducted the war, but the War Democrats at least supported the fight for the Union.
The Peace Democrats were opposed to the war and would have accepted a negotiated peace resulting in an independent Confederacy. Most Peace Democrats were from the midwestern states of Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, but political dissent was widespread throughout the North. Midwesterners had close economic and sentimental ties with the South, and many of them bitterly opposed the Union's war against what one of them called "the injured, incensed, downtrodden people of the South."
In 1861, Republicans started calling antiwar Democrats "copperheads", likening them to the poisonous snake. By 1863, the Peace Democrats had accepted the label, but for them the copper "head" was the likeness of Liberty on the copper penny, and they proudly wore pennies as badges.
The Copperheads mounted a forceful and sustained protest against the Lincoln administration's policies and conduct. The most popular of the Copperheads was Democratic Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham, who in 1862 introduced a bill in Congress to imprison the President. Instead, Vallandigham and a host of other Democrats, including judges, newspaper editors, politicians, and antiwar activists, were arrested and imprisoned without trial on the orders of Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton, who had decided to take off their gloves in dealing with persons "guilty of any disloyal practice".
Fascinating Fact: At the 1864 Democratic convention, Vallandigham persuaded the party to adopt a platform that declared the war a failure and called for negotiations with the Confederacy.
LOL!! This story was all over Hugh Hewitt last night. Hugh was thoroughly pissed!!!!
I actually called Dick bin Turd's office yesterday evening. I was amazed that his assistant answered the phone on the second ring.
I informed her that I strongly objected to Dick bin Turd's characterization of our troops as Nazis or Commies.
I was respectful.
I asked her if he had apologized yet.
She said "I don't know. I have been answering the phone all day."
LOL !
