Allen: Durbin Should Ask Forgiveness for Remarks For Release: June 16, 2005 WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator George Allen (R-VA) today responded to the disparaging remarks made Tuesday by the Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Il) regarding the American military troops serving at Guantanamo Bay. Senator Durbin likened the actions of U.S. soldiers at the military base to those of "Nazis, Soviets, in their Gulags," and regimes that had "no concern for human beings." Allen said, "Senator Durbin's remarks were reprehensible. To compare our brave and honorable American troops to the Nazis and other brutal, murderous regimes is outrageous and...

In case you missed it, the Illinois senator remarked that "describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by the Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings." About 9 million people, including 6 million Jews, died in...

Full stories on ABC, CBS and NBC cast the military on the defensive at congressional hearings. CBS Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer — who has likened Guantanamo to the "Hanoi Hilton," the infamous North Vietnamese prison camp — grumped that "Congress asked a lot of questions today" about Guantanamo, but "the problem is, they didn't get many answers." ABC followed up its story on yesterday's hearings with a second full report by ABC's Terry Moran, who zeroed...

No Democrat in the House or Senate sees anything wrong with what he said. Not a one. And these people will be asking for votes in about 18 months. Can we put on some ads quoting Mr. Durbin with pictures of those that obviously stand behind those same remarks? I got money to put to that fund.

Chicago Tribune ^ \| June 17, 2005 Here we thought Sen. Dick Durbin had a cushy job that he likes. Truth told, he's auditioning for the job of Speechwriter/Silly Similes at Amnesty International. Last month the human rights group called on the U.S. to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
