I realize that this subject is not at all humorous, and I agree with the 'seem like heaven' statement.
I am encouraged to see that there are at least some individuals as outraged over this as I am.

A Military Father’s Response to Senator Durbin and the Democrat Party
Copyright 2005, Dean W. Sueck – Dean.Sueck@gmail.com
I am revolted by Senator Durbin’s remarks comparing the detention center in Gitmo with a death camp.
I have a daughter at Ft. Hood Texas with orders to the Middle East within the next 30 days. To boot, her husband ALSO has orders to the ME and my wife and I will be raising their children for the next year, and permanently if something should happen to them while they’re putting their lives on the line to serve this great country, and that’s my pleasure and my honor.
I figure I have a dog in this Senator Durbin fight.
“Facts are stubborn things.” How true Mr. Adams was when he voiced that statement.
I’m here to tell Senator Durbin and his America hating compatriots in the Democrat Party something.
AMERICAN WARS SET MEN FREE!!!
You want to count them up Senator? Let’s:
Iraq - 26,074,906 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Afghanistan - 29,928,987 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Kuwait - 2,335,648 note: 1,291,354 non-nationals (July 2005 est.) freed!
Russia/Eastern Europe – 200,000,000+ people freed!
Panama - 3,039,150 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Grenada - 89,502 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Vietnam - 83,535,576 (July 2005 est.) freed, but for these vile Democrats!
South Korea - 48,422,644 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Japan - 127,417,244 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Germany - 82,431,390 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
France - 60,656,178 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Italy - 58,103,033 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Netherlands - 16,407,491 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
WWI – Beyond count. At least 100 million.
Spanish American War – Populations of the Philippines, Cuba etc.
US Civil War – 9 million black slaves freed!
I’ll grant that these are current populations and many are simply estimates. But a reasonable person will get the point.
AMERICAN WARS SET MEN FREE!!
In the wars Americans get involved in, it’s AMERICAN soldiers, aviators and sailors who are tortured and mistreated, NOT their counterparts.
Care to count them up? Let’s:
Iraq
Soviet Union
China
North Vietnam
North Korea
Germany
Italy
Japan
How many have I left off this list who have tortured and brutalized American soldiers and civilians?
Does the “esteemed” Senator actually compare our prisoner system and guards to the Islamic monsters that we’re fighting the WAR against?? I hear total silence on the subject of the thousands that they’ve kidnapped, tortured and murdered. What was the “good” senator’s opinion of Margaret Hassan’s body when it was found in Fallujah? It was found decapitated with all arms and legs cut off. She was butchered like a lamb to the slaughter and the Senator said not a word!
Democrats don’t CARE about anybody. They USE people for their own partisan political ends. There’s no lie they won’t tell. It’s what they do. It’s their nature to lie like it’s a dogs’ nature to bark.
The Democrat Party has gotten to the point where they’re led by nothing but foaming at the mouth liberals who hate America with a passion that burns white hot. They are only too happy to be used as propaganda tools by the enemies of America. Senator Durbin’s remarks have been picked up by Al-Jazeera and broadcast around the Arab world over and over and over until it becomes truth, much the same as Newsweek’s flushed Koran story was. I’m sure that like Newsweek, Senator Durbin will issue a useless apology that nobody will pick up on, allowing the damage done to America’s reputation and prestige stand.
This puts the lives of American servicemen at risk, including my daughters’ and son-in-laws’ lives, and gives aid and comfort to the enemies of America.
The Republican Leadership won’t say it, neither will the Republican rank-and-file, but I’ll say it: Senator Durbin and his fellow Democrats are seditious, treasonous SOB’s who give aid and comfort to the enemy. They need psychiatric examinations for the delusions that they live under.
A coerced apology is a non-apology. The Democrats will say that he’s been misquoted and that what he spoke was the truth and his words were taken out of context and “everyone does it”. They’ll trot out all the usual suspects to tell us isn’t such a bad thing and it’s something that everybody knows but nobody will talk about.
Senator Durban’s non-apology apology isn’t enough for me. That such a man is serving in a leadership position in the United States Senate is a black mark against the United States government.
Nothing short of Senator Durbin’s resignation will satisfy me. His resignation and those of like-minded people in the government are the only things that will protect my daughter and her husband as they work to protect us and above all, America.
Dump Durbin!
Seems the Chicago P.D. are FAR WORSE than Gitmo and Grab-an-Arab (Abu Graib) at Lindie's worst...all in Turd-bin Laden's BACK YARD!
Outstanding!
I've thought I was following fairly closely what's going on, and I don't recall this specific story.
Just adds to my previous statement that anything positive to U.S., or anything negative to the enemy, is not covered very well by the MSM.
Dad's pissed, and I don't blame him. Great article.
As well, you SHOULD be angry! I myself am still seething over his inane comments! I hope the man never knows a moments peace over this for the rest of his life!
May his words haunt him forever! He's nothing less than a traitor in my eyes!!
During the battle for Fallujah, Marines found her body as I described it.
That's what the enemy does to prisoners. Makes Gitmo/Abu Ghraib seem like heaven.
As am I. And if I don't hear anything on FNC about these comments today or this weekend, I will be much more irritated.
A most excellent post!

"Democrats don’t CARE about anybody. They USE people for their own partisan political ends. There’s no lie they won’t tell. It’s what they do. It’s their nature to lie like it’s a dogs’ nature to bark."
Truer words were never spoken.
I wish the votes were there not to censure DICK Durbin, but to EXPELL him.
Thank you to your daughter and son-in-law for their service to our country and to your family as you too serve our country.
I just heard Hugh Hewitt read this on his radio show---he urged all of his listeners to come here to FR and read the letter...he was very complimentary...especially about your passion...
Good for you ---and thank you and your family!
Vice and villany are the preferred tools of Durbin and the Democrats. It is their essence and cannot be changed any more than a leopard can change its spots. They do not love country or decency, only self. That they might deny self for the good of country is anathema to them. They worship at the alter of power. They are corrupt absolutely.

Senator Durbin compared our servicemen to Nazis who killed six to nine million in gas chambers, Soviets who killed two million in their gulag and tens of millions more overall, and Pol Pot who slaughtered two million.
The senator's remarks are now broadcast triumphantly over Aljazeera as a battle cry to terrorists to redouble their murderous attacks against our nation's servicemen and women.
Senator Durbin must be formally censured by the Senate for giving aid and comfort to our enemy in this time of war.

Great rant. I saw this moron Durbin on TV tonight for the first time. I had never even heard of him before. He's talking, and the Dems around him are grinning ear to ear and looking at him like he's their Village Idiot.
The man is a disgrace to the Senate. He should resign immediately.
AR, Your words hit the mark. I too, am angered by the deliberate slander of our military by DICK DURBIN.
What he said was calculated to harm the President and he cared not at all about demeaning our troops and endangering our country in the process. There is only one word for what he has done : TREASON
As an American and a veteran, I salute you and thank you. May Patriots and Angels watch over you and your loved ones.
