1. Where's Biden and Edwards? At least one of them must slam Durbin

And where is Lieberman? Why didn't that Pharisee shame Durbin for comparing Gitmo to Nazi concentration camps? Doesn't Durbin know that only Jews have been persecuted? </sarcasm>

2. Look in the mirror, America. You've changed.

Looking too much like Hitler and Uncle Joe for comfort.

3. That's a great line!

"Look in the mirror America, You've changed"

That soooooo applies to so much right now!

4. So the Republicans are defending torture?

Because what Durbin described quoting from an FBI report isn't "abuse," it isn't "mistreatment," it isn't "letting off steam," it's

TORTURE

Are the Republicans defending torture now? Isn't that something the United States has historically been against? Didn't we used to be a beacon of freedom and enlightenment to the world?
