2. Durbin is a Patriot, he will not recant the truth!

15. Never doubt the great ones. Kerry, CLinton Durbin...
They say what they mean and mean what they say. Absolutey honest and forthright. Why, why can't all politicians be like these esteemed leaders?

6. Durbin isn't scared of Bush, or Hannity, or any of those other dirtbags.
He said what he meant and isn't going to take it back. He'll probably repeat it today!

What an asshole! From "don't take it at face value" to "should you even have that?" Does he have ADD or something?

19. Warner is dissembling, as usual.
Challenged his report, Durbin got the goods, now Warner says this administration is "carefully scrutinizing"....a year later. Whatta toady.

24. Durbin...he just got a copy of the FBI memo......
this info was disclosed in a letter to Rider (?)(someone) July14, 2004 it was released under the Freedom of information Act. The administration has never questioned it.

Warner..this is still under investigation.

Durbin...what I described was the APPROVED interrogation techniques...approved by this administration. This is no surprise. The admin knew this for a complete year and these techniques were approved by the administration!

McConnell is in on it now...:grr: He has a "problem" with Durbin's words. Do you stand by your statement of comparing torture in Gitmo to oppressive regimes?

Durbin said yes. Comparison related to the interrogation techniques. I visualized these techniques to be used by those repressive regimes.

GO DICK!!!! He's not taking back his statement....yet. ;)

34. He's pointing out that that report was a YEAR OLD and the administration
never questioned it. Warner..."The damage you are doing to our troops in Gitmo!".....

Durbin.....The damage was done when we changed our interrogation policy! GO DICK!

They need two republicans to debate this... Durbin should continue to stand firm and then ask them to open bi-partisan congressional investigations immediately!

31. Typical Republican strawman deflection of what Durbin said.
They won't admit his analogy on tortue is correct. And what danger are the troops put in when we tortue these people in this manner....they ought to be apologizing to the troops for allow these interrogations to endanger their welfare.

Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 05:23 PM by olafvikingr
Mr. Durbin, tell them to go fuck themselves. ok can't do that...

Tell them, This is a publicly released document, if some regular guy can talk about it around the watercooler, you can talk about it on the damn senate floor.

When Americans torture, you can not help but compare them to other torturers.

Ohhh...they just try to make you seem anti-American or soldier...as a veteran...that REALLY pisses me off!!

45. Harry Reid is talking about the war, schools, the environment,
the deficit, 7 TRILLION dollar deficit. This is all to take attention away from their bad policies. They are focusing on my friend, Dick Durbin, instead.
