A day after the Senate Armed Services Committee heard testimony that detainees at Guantanamo Bay were being tortured with women's underwear, Committee member Ted Kennedy announced he would make his first-ever visit the facility.
Investigators told Kennedy and his Armed Services colleagues on Wednesday that Gitmo interrogators forced a detainee to wear a bra, put women's g-string panties on his head, ordered him to dance with a male interrogator and forced him to stand naked in front of women, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I am deeply concerned about the failure - indeed, outright refusal - of our military and civilian leaders to hold higher-ups accountable," Kennedy told reporters after hearing about the lingerie torture.
Thursday night, the Massachusetts Democrat announced that he planned to personally inspect the facility, telling the Boston Globe that the purpose of his trip would be to "to meet with officials, ask questions of their practices, and see firsthand their operations."
You'd think this traitor wouldn't go near any body of water larger than a coctail glass for fear of divine retribution.
They made the suspects pretend to be Democrats.
Panties-on-head alert!
Sounds like stories of men dancing with each other while wearing lingerie has er, um, aroused Sen. Kennedy to action.
Teddy the swimmer dosen't like his terrorist friends to be mistreated - but it's time to 'reach out' to them, and 'try to understand' when they blow up skyscrapers and subway trains.
These liberal idiots have really gone off the deep end.
This womens underwear thing seems to hit pretty close to home with old Teddy.
Or is it Teddi?
My first reaction was "Scrappleface." My second was that "Ted should be so lucky."
If Mary Jo Kopechne were alive I'm sure she could tell us a lot about Ted Kennedy and his probing.
This guy cant hold office forever. His political career now Im sure is 90% behind him now.
Is there anyone coming up that could beat or replace this fool? Or will they find a radical nujob liberal to replace him just as bad. I almost find it hard to believe anyone could be worse.

Teddy is on a teddy hunt.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Barney Fag will just "fill his slot"
Hold higher ups accountable?? He should have been getting out of jail about now. This guy is a loser. Hes an embarassment to this country. With luck he will stay beached down there.
Swimmer Kennedy is joining the "panty patrol" gang????
That would be just downright funny if it wasn't being pathetically twisted (npi) by the left.
Ted Kennedy, while an underclassman at Yale, probably hazed freshman pledges even more rudely than any detainee at Gitmo has been abused by interrogators.
Do we even know what kinds of parties that Teddy attends yet? You can bet there are all kinds of abuse that take place there, we never hear about.
