Gitmo called death camp

(snip)

About 9 million persons, including 6 million Jews, died in Hitler's death camps, 2.7 million persons died in Stalin's gulags and 1.7 million Cambodians died in Pol Pot's scourge of his country.

Evidence would suggest that one is in far more mortal danger riding with Ted Kennedy than being an inmate at Gitmo. With all of Ted Kennedy's whining about Gitmo lately, I thought this presented an interesting comparison.

I wish some Repub Senator would grow a pair, stand up when Swimmer is ranting about Gitmo, and ask him:

"Excuse me Mr. Senator... how many people have died in one of your cars?"

While he mumbles, and tries to voice a reply...

"One more than in Gitmo."

Mary Jo Kopeckne Agrees: It's Safer in Gitmo than in Ted Kennedy's Car

..or JFK Jr's plane, or JFK's motorcade, or William Kennedy Smith's Palm Beach pad.

Also safer to be in Gitmo than walk around in NE or SE D.C.

Mary Jo Kopechne (July 26, 1940July 18, 1969), born in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, was the only child of insurance salesman, Joseph Kopechne and his wife Gwen. Upon graduation from Caldwell College for women, Kopechne moved to Washington D.C. initially to work as secretary to U.S. Senator George Smathers and subsequently as secretary to Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Kopechne died when a car driven by Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy went off a bridge and overturned into a pond.
