Dick Durbin's Air Pollution

I've been kind of quiet lately but Illinois Senator Dick Durbin's recent remarks have me riled to the point where I can't keep quiet. His comparisons of conduct of American guards at Guantanamo, guarding and interrogating people who would like nothing better than to kill you and your children simply for being American, to Pol Pot, Nazis, and the Soviet Gulag is one of the most foul and odious speeches ever to be heard in the hallowed halls of the Senate. Such words diminish the horror and depravity of those monsters of history. It's as if he had compared someone who slugged a mugger with a serial killer. It seems his unreasoning hatred of President Bush has unhinged his mind. And from his weasel-worded explanations, it seems he has no real understanding of the moral issues involved and his errors. The best tghing he could do now is resign. The air quality in the Senate would improve immediately.
