"I've got a couple of questions regarding this FBI memo:

1) Has anybody seen a copy of the actual memo? NO.
The originals where destroyed after copies where made of them.....Heh heh heh.

2) Why was the memo written and later released? Because the the memo was destroyed after copies where made of it on an old style typewriter, so there was nothing official to be released.

3) How did it get into the RATs hands? The FBI operative is a solid GWB hating liberal far left guy, he wrote up a false report, called up the Turbin Head to see if he wanted some copies typed up on an old style typewriter of the original that was then destroyed.

4) Why was the FBI even at Gitmo? This is a military facility. Military authorities have jurisdictional responsibility. Why was the FBI there reporting on the military?
With our new policies in place for all agencies to work together the FBI does in this case perhaps have a very ligit reason for checking out certain goons currently being held in hopefully very heavy hard cold rolled steel cold chains.

Hope the answers suffice.

I have posted the same sentiment on the molester threads. I do not understand how a full grown man, when confronted by such outrages, in view of the system's impotence, does not take justice into his own hands.

Pray for me that it never visits me. Because, don-o would be either dead or jailed for a long time off that.

When Trent Lott says that Dirtbag has made a sufficient and complete apology, and acted commensurate with that apology, then and only then, should any right think person accept his apology.

I really do not understand the Democrats. The prisoners in Gitmo want to kill Americans. I'm part of an American family and those that want to kill me and mine - well I really don't worry about how they are treated, although I understand these thugs are being treated extremely well. And I am profoundly grateful to our American military for saving us from these terrorists. Dick Turban is a traitor to America and he should be expelled from the Senate.

Exactly, he should resign now! We won't settle for less. Apologies are meaningless if you aren't sorry.

The United States Senate is DEAD! The real men have left

You are SO right! There were some great Senators during the last forty years, in BOTH parties. No longer. They all seem to be a bunch of lily livered placating mealy-mouthed cowards who are committed to being seen as 'sensitive', as in 'sensitive to our enemies'. These weak-kneed yellow-bellied sissies are no inspiration for our young men and women. Shameful.

"Mr. President, I've come to understand that was a poor choice of words," said Durbin. "Last Friday, I tried to make this very clear that I understood that those analogies - the Nazis, Soviets, and others - were poorly chosen. I issued a release, which I thought made my intentions and my innermost feelings as clear as I possibly could,"

TRANSLATION: " I didn't get away with saying what I really meant."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apology, my ...axle...!!! Where is "I'm sorry" or, "I apologize"???

You think the Gitmo craze is sickening, wait until you see Hitlery and the other Arab-wannabes trapsing to all the mosques to be lovey-dovey and give speeches when the campaigns get underway - they will be courting the votes of all the people who want to do exactly what you say - kill Americans

One of Daley's boys enlisted shortly after 9-11 & is a paratrooper in the sandbox Hizhonor Da Mayor was not amused to have his boy compared to some rectal oriface at Auschwitz or Buchenwald by a fellow Democrat especially one from Illinios. That's my SWAG

"I've come to understand that was a poor choice of words"

There ya go... that's the apology. You tell that to the families of those in Europe and Cambodia who's past you cavalierly use for your "Get Bush" brownie points...


A detainee watches an Iranian movie inside a trailer at the Camp Iguana facility of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.


A U.S. Military Police officer hands clean clothes and linens to a detainee at Camp Delta.

Dick Durbin thinks it's just like this:


Belsen Concentration Camp


Skulls from the Killing Fields Museum in Cambodia.

Hey Durbin, STFU!
