Senator compares soldiers to Nazis


On the subject of Time Magazine's Gitmo Gulag article, Senator Dick Durban, D-Ill. had this (PDF) to say:

"If I read this to you and didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe that this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others - that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that's not the case. This was the action of Americans and treatment of their own prisoners." -- Senator Dick Durban, D-Ill. comparing our soldiers to Nazis on the floor of the Senate, June 14, 2005.

Durban's comments are way out of line. Just a political game he continues to play at the expense of those sacrificing so much for this country. Durbin does not speak for his constituents in Illinois. He should be out next election.
