Senator, I apologize for comparing you to a pile of dog cr@p. Actually I should apologize to that pile of dog cr@p.

[Kozak]

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.

A non apology. Note he regrets misunderstanding. Nowhere does he apologize for or retract his insane analogies between Club Gitmo and Auswitz or Vorkuta.

[endthematrix]

Apology? The bad Senator appears to stand on his statements, he just regrets the disagreement.

[Tall_Texan]

The headline is incorrect. That's not an apology. If these were the words of Trent Lott saying he regretted if some people misunderstood his remarks about Strom Thurmond, the leftists would sense the blood in the water and demand a true apology.

I think this is how the GOP needs to be with this remark. It's no apology. It's "I'm sorry you misunderstood". Big difference, IMO. They need to press for a complete apology.

"Suggesting some kind of equivalence between (U.S. military) interrogation tactics demonstrates a profound lack of understanding about the horrors that Hitler and his regime actually perpetrated," the league said in a letter to Durbin that was posted to its Web site.

This is true whenever the Nazi card is played by the ignorant. Mass starvation, incinerators, bulldozed mass graves, stacks of skulls, blood thirsty guards, ... come on, find a new way to criticize without referring to the depraved evil of communism or National Socialism.

What did we "misunderstand"? He's calling us dumb.

I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand

What the *L* is there to misunderstand...the traitor said quite clearly what he meant.

[ncountylee]

This idiot is trying to lay any blame on us for misunderstanding his vile remarks toward the military. Well Turban what about the vile insults to Jews, Gulag and Pol Pot victims?

No apology to read here move along.

[hsalaw]

I never feel like an idiot asking questions on FR, so I'll ask this one: what does the FBI has to do with Guantanamo? Are they overseeing it? Why are they writing e-mails about it? And to whom? I must be confused about the jurisdiction of the FBI vs. the CIA vs. Homeland Security vs. the DOD. I must be missing something in all this. Any help gratefully received.

"he regretted any misunderstandings"

What's to misunderstand here? He likened them to the nazi's and Gitmo to a nazi concentration camp

These idiots just don't get it. And the most appalling thing is that more and more of them seem to be following the lead of that jackass of all jackasses, Howie D. In my opinion Dean is now officially the DNC "village idiot"

[WKB]

Maybe Durbin should start wearing a Turbin.
Turbin Durbin ......I like it!!!!

I think it's high time the President gets Ken Mehlman and Howie D in a room together and reads them both the riot act. This bulls**t has gotten WAY out of hand. Both parties (though the dementacrats to a much greater degree) have totally lost sight of the fact that they are Americans first and Conservatives or dementacrats second.

Dean, especially, is totally out of control. He is acting like a raving madman and the village idiot at this point and his liberal idiot cronies are filing in line behind him. Pretty much nothing going on in the Senate or House is productive at this point and it is noticeably hurting our country and our military and I for one have had my fill of all of it.

"I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood detrimental to my political career. I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand my true feelings: never vote for me again...

[Dr.Hilarious]

I think my computer screen's screwed up, I didn't see the apology in that article. I saw the usual Democrat line: "There was a misunderstanding", which means "YOU got it wrong, I didn't".

[FoxRun]

I do NOT accept his apology, since it is not given with remorse and sincereity. I will accept his Resignation from the Senate! Al-Jazzera (sp?) has broadcast Durbin's propaganda already. What does it take for treason to be treason and sedition to be sedition????

[barkeep]

The man who taught me to lay tile had done 10 years on a burglary. At one point he made the sad mistake of knocking out a guard, after which he was cuffed hand to ankle and left for 48 hours. Think Steve McQueen in Papillon. During this, his allergies filled his head with mucous and he thought for several hours he was going to die of "positional asphyxia". Had that happened his body would have been found the next day, as no one ever looked in on him in that time.

This is how we treat our own citizens in civilian prisons. What I hear hear of Club Gitmo, my tile laying bud would cheerfully swap spots with one of these guys.

Durbin has been reading too much of Schulz of Amnesty Int'l fame. Definitly "aid and comfort", I imagine Al Jazeera is running this almost as a tape loop, but absent formal Congressional Declaration of War, idiots like Durbin can get away with vile treachery.

[daddyOwe]

I didn't misunderstand his words. I understood completely. He must take some of us for stupid democrats.

[Mr. Keys]

I just went to the DUng pile. Those morons feel he has nothing to apologise for. In fact, they're breathlessy claiming that this is perfect timing because ,get this, the "new pics" from Abu Ghraib coming out will vindicate him. What scum. This country needs an enema.
