Senator Dick Durbin on Guantanamo:

If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners
>>>

The Nazis killed millions in their concentration camps.

The Soviets killed millions in theirs.

Pol Pot murdered millions.

Number of detainees at Gitmo who have died: zero.

Number of detainees at Gitmo who have suffered serious injuries
at the hands of of guards or interrogators: zero.

There is one international organization that has a legitimate
beef with how we are running things at Gitmo:

Weight Watchers.

The average detainee has gained 18 lbs in custody, according to a spokesman for the joint task force there. This makes Gitmo the only POW camp in the history of the world where prisoners have gotten fat.

There is another minor difference between Gitmo and the Nazi and Soviet concentration camps. They threw people into concentration camps for opposing the regime, or for being jewish, or for having a larger farm than their neighbors. The prisoners at Gitmo are the worst of the worst.

Is Durbin such a weenie that he thinks what al Qahtani was subjected to was torture?

Has he lost all moral sense?
