Your defense of the outrageous slander of our military & the Bush Admin by Durbin is typical spin, denial & revisionist history of the left. At best it is a distinction without a difference. And what he described in no way comes remotely close to what happened in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Gulags or in Pol Pot's killing fields. Not in your wildest imagination. - Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill) on the floor of the US Senate.... "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". Feel free to defend this treacherous bastard. Just do it elsewhere on SI. His unhinged diatribe is officially on the record. He has refused to retract a single word. There is no need to reinterpret, nuance or rehabilitate his words into something other than what he said verbatim. And there are no facts or other evidence that will change their real meaning which was to place our military on par with some of the most brutal, repressive violators of human rights in history. When you have evidence that puts our military on equal footing with Nazi Germany, Soviet gulags or the killing fields of Pol Pot, bring it here. Until then, don't wast the bandwidth.
