Dick Durbin failed to retract his accusations that U.S. Marines and other Americans acted like Nazis, Soviets, and the Khmer Rouge. This is not an apology and it does nothing to undo the damage Durbin has done in giving enemies of the United States a propaganda weapon to use against us. This is a contemptible Friday-afternoon damage control stunt. The Senate should censure Dick Durbin.

Do a search for the name Louis Pepe.
He's the US prison guard who was hels down by two AlQueda inmates who shoved a sharp comb into his eye & brain.
I have no sympathy for the terrorists. They want to kill us. They will kill rgeir soldier guards in a heartbeat if given a chance. We are at war...get info out of them asap and be done with it.

Durbin is just blathering now because of all the heat turned on him from his own comments. Nothing more. He meant every word he said. Just another America hating Democrat.

Good article. I strongly feel they have no protections or rights under our laws. We set up military tribunals to deal with them. That's where they belong. But perhaps the truly fair thing to do would be to incarcerate, interrogate, try, and punish them using the same standards and practices used against the prisoners of the groups they fought for.

"I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood. This sentence says it all.Dick Vermin believes his statement to be correct.
If he thought otherwise he would realize that there are no historical parallels here.
Anti-American slime.

This was not an apology! Until he truly apologizes, the pressure will continue and only get worse.

It's no apology. It's "I'm sorry you misunderstood".
Sounds more like "I'm sorry I got caught".

"This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."
This, after the references to Pol Pot, etc.
We don't have an apology, here, but we do have one Sick Turban!

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. Where's the apology?

The only honorable way for Durbin to apologize is to resign--but he won't do that.
All this business about Guantanamo the last few weeks illustrates perfectly why the Dems can't ever be trused in the WOT. If given the chance they would:
1. Close Guantanamo and release most of the terrorists (who would then go on to kill more US citizens).
2. Bring the remainder to the US, were they would be defended to the hilt by the ACLU & others at the cost of millions in taxpayer $$. The show trials will go on for years and weaken our resolve further.
3. Those let go would be invited to apply for compensation from and/or sue the US Gov. As a result, each would likely get settlements comparable to a Jackson molestation victim.
4. A witch hunt would be unleased against the US guards at Guantanamo. A few will go to prison, most will be forced retire or to leave the service.
5. Mishandling the Koran in any way, shape, or form will be deemed to worst kind of hate crime. It will become as taboo as using the "N" word.
6. As a result, holding almost any kind of terrorist will be deemed "too hot to handle". Like illegal aliens at the border, they will just be let go to perpetrate their crimes again.
BTW--I use the name Guantanamo instead of the shorter "Gitmo" 'cause I think the term "Gitmo" is part of the Leftist demonization campaign.

I worry about the "new pics" too. It seems like the ACLU, the media, and the opposition party are coordinating their attack.
The Administration may be afraid to go on offense now, because if they do the "new pic' are due out at the end of June.
.
And why is the government not appealing this. And why was their case that this would represent a violation of the Geneva Agreements instead of it will end up in US soldiers being killed.
So, now the judge said just hide the faces.
The Administration is being blackmailed with these pictures. Thus the weak response
To: ambrose
That's NOT an apology.
No-one misunderstood.

You will see this video of "TurbineatdogshitDurbin" in 2006 and 2008- the voters will be reminded of this over and over if RNC has any balls..He will have brought down the Dems with his sick attack..Does anyone here think the Dems have even a remote idea of the rage the public feels at these treasonous Democrat leaders..another gift that will keep on giving if Republican leaders have the balls for it.

Durban is a nitwit. We are Americans and we understand English. We did not misunderstand what Durban said and neither did the islamic terrorist.
