So now our military is put in the same class as the Russian gulags, Hitler's concentration camps, and Pol Pot's massacres? Did we hear this wonderful comparison from the latest OBL tape? NO, no, dear readers. OBL didn't need to say it. Heck, not when you have
Dick Durbin and
the ever-present RINO in the Senate! To compare the "frat-boy" antics at Gitmo with the
Gulag Archipelego,
Pol Pot (who wiped out 2 million plus of his own people), and
Adolph Hitler is beyond the pale. To wit:
"On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. ..... On another occasion, the (air conditioner) had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor.' 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 (Photos history)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."
Now while I would agree that (at least for me) listening to 24 hours of P Diddy or Eminem would be torture, that hardly holds a candle to what happened in Nazi Germany. The Nazis gassed their people. Pol Pot killed millions of his own citizens. The Gulags were largely in Siberia, where prisoners were frozen or starved to death or worse. So now we have Dick Durbin (or Durbin the Turbin, as
Savage calls him) joining the ranks of the Al Qaeda apologists like
Al Jazeera. Again, with senators like Durbin, who needs bin Laden? But alas, dear readers, not to be outdone by a whacko democrat, our ever-present RINOs are getting into the act. From
Fox News:
Senators on both sides of the aisle have said that the U.S. naval base in Cuba has created an image problem for the United States that is hurting its reputation in the Arab world.(emphasis mine).
To me, the only embarrassment is that we have some namby pamby senators who are trying in some sick way to get political mileage by doing Al Jazeera's and OBL's leg work. Does anybody, anyone in the Senate have a friggen lick of sanity anymore?
