Durbin will just accuse the Administration of putting on a show. He will then cite an episode of Hogan's Heroes to bolster his case.
And they'd better not eat any of the roast pheasant---that's for the detainees.
I don't think he can back off this one! Finally the media is on top of this one!
Those army guys who eat in the mess hall must be salivating.
Both sides are doing it, throwing the Holocaust, Hitler, Nazis, etc. into the mix in order to stir people up. I'm getting tired of it myself.
Since when did the left oppose Pol Pot? They attacked those fighting Pot, they defended the indefensible KR regime, they denied it was happening, when that wouldn't work anymore they tried to blame it on Nixon. Which is like trying to blame Winston Churchill for the death camps because he ordered Berlin bombed.
Since when did the left oppose Stalin? They attacked those who fought against Stalin. They played smash mouth when the gulag atrocities were revealed. They defended "revolutionary terror". They defended traitors who worked for Stalin, and smashed anyone who criticized those traitors. Leftists stole plans for the atom bomb and gave them to Joe Stalin, and the left defended those caught doing it. Leftists denied the terror famines, said New Soviet Man was going to save the world. They never stopped. They were still defending communists the day before the Berlin wall fell.
As for the Nazis, the left is defending them right this minute. The Baathist party running the terror war in Iraq is a Nazi party. It was founded by Nazis, allied to the Nazis during the war, aped the Nazis in policies, ran its own death camps, gased its own citizens, and they all want it left alone, and for our troops to leave, and let those Nazis back into power. The terrorists in the camps in Gitmo are Nazis. They saw off the heads of any Jew they can find because they are Nazis, no other reason needed. And the left is defending them as we speak.
So, where do they get off accusing moral men of things they have defended the real instances of for seven decades? As though they care about them. The only thing they care about is the defeat of the United States of America and smashing capitalism and freedom. It is all they have ever cared about and it is all they care about now.
Did you see the picture of Pres. Bush the other day? I think it was AP that published it. It was a pic of him with his arm raised in such a way and angle that it looked like he was giving the Nazi "Heil Hitler" salute to the crowd.
Of all the probably thousands of images of him available, that was the one they chose? Coincidence? Yet one they ran of Clinton the other day had an American flag behind him.
Nope, the media is not guilty of perpetuating this Bush=Hitler BS, are they?
I am starting, however, to see the race card and like tactics creeping into the other side too. I hope that they are above that because the opposite side ain't.
I think he should stay there indefinitely.
Yes: getting one in two boxes.
Or as Rush would say, this was done at Waco. And the President was Cllinton. American citizens -- men, women, and children were tormented for weeks on end. Where were the cries of inhumane treatment? There were none. None from the dems. I suspect they care more about our enemy than about innocent children burned to death because they see this as a way to hurt Bush. I'm charmed -- as usual.

Tha is a totally GREAT idea..I'm serious ..Why the hell doesn't some rep with BALLS say something like that to Durbin and co?Just once I'd love to hear someone in govt reallt tell it like it is. "Go down there big mouth , pick out a terrorist and take him home to your wife and kids".
I loved the other idea I saw just now. Let some Dems go to Gitmo and interview these bums one on one without a US mitalry person present...Someone please say that from the senate floor...But , alas, no one in the Republican party has any nerve anymore. It' feels like we lOST at times doesn't it ?
Maybe one of those "chinese boxes" where the pieces get smaller with each new one you open?
"Does anyone know if red cross has an office at gitmo? I suspect that they do."
First aid or administrative?
Move Gitmo to northern Alaska.
He should be confined there.
