The Anti-Defamation League has called on Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin to apologize for comparing alleged abuses at Guantanamo Bay to torture and killing by the Nazi regime.

"Whatever your views on the treatment of detainees and alleged excesses at the Guantanamo Bay facility, it is inappropriate and insensitive to suggest that actions by American troops in any way resemble actions taken by Nazis in their treatment of prisoners," wrote ADL head Abraham Foxman in a letter to the Illinois lawmaker.

Good point. The detainees at Gitmo are allowed to pray 5 times a day. Were the Jews in the Nazi concentration camps allowed to celebrate Passover and Hannukah?

Go to Hell, Dick Dirtbag.

Interesting that the ADL only criticized Durbin's reference to the Nazi death camps and not Stalin's gulags.

I want to thank you for posting those links. I did not have those. I emailed my representatives just now about the Durbin sedition. Please continue to post these links, there may be more people like me who would love to have those links, quickly and easily. Now I have them on my computer.

Sen. Dick Durbin Says He Regrets if Guantanamo Remarks Caused Misunderstanding
06-17-2005 6:11 PM
By REBECCA CARROLL, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Friday that he regretted any misunderstandings caused by his comments earlier this week comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis. The White House, Senate Republicans and others had called for an apology after Durbin's comments Tuesday.

Also mentioned on Savage Nation just now, so it's all over the place already.

On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold

A lot of patients have the same reaction if they wait an extra long time, undressed, in a doctor's examining room.

Misunderstandings? This has to be the worst apology I have ever seen.

You are right, and your comment should be obvious to all with an IQ above room temperature. Of course this excludes most Democrats.

>Durbin misspoke, listeners didn't misunderstand.<

LOL Yeah, I noticed. Durbin "regrets." I'll bet he does.

It's all our fault, don't you see. We 'misunderstood' Durbin's best efforts to come to grips with just the most agonizing moral issue imaginable.

This is no apology - it's an insult. But the elitist press will treat it as an apology, and condemn us for refusing what amounts to just another Durbin insult.

No relenting - no mercy. Durbin the defector has to go.

It's no apology at all. It's an arrogant attempt to throw the blame back on his critics. Durbin is a sorry excuse for an American. He should go crawl back under the rock whence he came. He doesn't belong in polite society.

May just be me but the rebuke seemed very mild.
