CHICAGO - Sen. Dick Durbin refused to apologize Wednesday for comments he made on the Senate floor comparing the actions of American soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and a "mad regime" like Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot's in Cambodia.

1. Good for him! Why back down when what you said is the truth!!??

2. Keep telling it like it is, Senator Durbin. The truth of all that Bush ...

.... and his neoconster regime have done is one of the ugliest chapters in modern history. And, until we stop them the chapter is only going to get longer and uglier.

Scalia killed "America" on Saturday morning, Dec 9 2000, and ever since the cesspool of atrocities, lies, murders and all attendant other evils have been the only products of the Bush regime.

Peace.

4. Good for Durbin. Guess AIPAC Joe Liberman didn't slam him over

his comparison of Gitmo to Nazi concentration camps.

5. Did anyone else hear the right-wing talk show hosts

screaming over this? Wow, Senator Durbin has really got them going!
Savage actually accused him of being anti-semetic! Because he compared Gitmo to the Nazi concentration camps, Savage went absolutely ballistic and accused Sen. Durbin of Jew bashing!! It was unbelievable!
