Little Dickie Durbin says that Gitmo "torture" is the stuff of Nazis and Soviet gulags - because terrorists have to lie on the floor and suffer too much air conditioning and listen to rap music.

I would love to get ahold of this guy and show him what "torture" really is.

Just the title of it and the section that it is in, and I agree... :shrug:

"complained to higher-ups that one al Qaeda suspect was chained to the floor, kept in an extremely cold air-conditioned cell and forced to hear loud rap music. "

WTF? I'd trade places with this clown anyday... :ohwell:

Me too. They have the A/C cranked up in my office and it's really chilly in here and the person in the cell next to me is on a conference call with the speaker phone up full blast. I think by boss was trained at Gitmo but he didn't answer me when I asked him.

Do what I do and ask them if they want you to send them a PM. That'll get their attention. :yay:

Yeah I don't think that we need to invoke the Nazis or Soviets to describe the methods used at GITMO. There are better ways to articulate opposition to US policy regarding interrogration practices than that.

Like so:

Today, Sen. Durbin clarified his remarks. "What I meant to say as regards conditions at Gitmo is that WE should be treating these bastards as though THEY are Nazis and Commies, not the other weay around. Our security and the life saving information we might, err, coax out of these asshats is worth a few bruised feelings and the odd runny nose."

It seems the Senators goal was to clarify whose side he is on.

In other news, Sen. Ted Kennedy demanded a reopening of the investigation into the death of Mary Jo Kopechne saying that his conscious demands he set the record straight and a large pot belly pig set off a mad scramble to evacuate the Whitehouse and the Capitol. Seems the pig, 'Flower", strayed off course into restricted DC airspace...

Isn't it funny how up in arms everyone is over the treatment of prisoners and what not? I guess they tend to forget what those c$#ksuckers did to that Army girl. Or the fact that they are popping the heads off contractors like freakin daisies. At least our prisoners have a lifespan of more than 15 minutes. I say the hell with 'em and send me over there with a twelve pack and a dull knife and I'll show ya what pain is...

This commentary has to be one of the more scathing ones I've read lately about Sen. Durbin's rant:
http://www.suntimes.com/output/steyn/cst-edt-steyn19.html



Last Tuesday, Senator Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, quoted a report of U.S. "atrocities" at Guantanamo and then added:

"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." Er, well, your average low-wattage senator might. But I wouldn't. The "atrocities" he enumerated -- "Not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room" -- are not characteristic of the Nazis, the Soviets or Pol Pot, and, at the end, the body count in Gitmo was a lot lower. That's to say, it was zero, which would have been counted a poor day's work in Auschwitz or Siberia or the killing fields of Cambodia.

Ok, I *realize* that the intent wasn't 'comfort' - but does anyone see the ridiculous irony in that someone considers it "torture" to have the AIR CONDITIONING on so high, they shiver - in *CUBA*?

Our guys are dying in the heat in Iraq, and prisoners in Cuba are suffering because the AC is on too high?

When do the guys in Iraq get air conditioning?

Soviet gulags, I tell ya!

I'm curious if there's anyone in America, outside of a handful of screwball Leftists and Bush-bashers, that are disturbed about treatment of prisoners at Gitmo? Or Abu Ghraib? You'd think the news dudes would be taking one of their infamous polls about it, and I suspect the reason they don't is because the answer isn't the one they're looking for.

This is the kind of effed up thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE, from some kindergartener to the Secretary of State - knows that the key to fending off bullies is to kick their butts up between their shoulder blades, not hand over your lunch money willingly.

Opinion:


"This isn't a Republican vs Democrat thing; it's about senior Democrats who are so over-invested in their hatred of a passing administration that they've signed on to the nuttiest slurs of the lunatic fringe.

It would be heartening to think that Durbin will himself now be subjected to some serious torture. Not real torture, of course; I don't mean using Pol Pot techniques and playing the Celine Dion Christmas album really loud to him. But he should at least be made a little uncomfortable over what he's done -- in a time of war, make an inflammatory libel against his country's military that has no value whatsoever except to America's enemies.

Shame on him, and shame on those fellow senators and Democrats who by their refusal to condemn him endorse his slander."

I most assuredly agree.:patriot:
