Durbin "apologizes", if anything he said caused any offense...

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin may finally be coming around, a little bit, to understanding the contemptuous affect of his careless and ignorantly dangerous (because our enemies will exploit his words to support their jihad) comparison of our soldiers' handling of detainees at Gitmo, to the systematic torture and murder of millions of innocent civilians perpetrated by history's trinity of evil-Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot .
Regretably, though, his "apology" may have been as much a political consideration, as a sincere recognition of his shame, coming after the condemnation of his statements by his own party's mayor of the most populous city in his state. (Richard Daley, Chicago)
From a Chicago Sun-Times story today: "Daley on Tuesday became the most prominent Democrat to denounce Durbin, and Durbin had that to factor in when he reversed his decision not to apologize.
Asked in Chicago whether Durbin should apologize, Daley, whose son recently enlisted in the Army said, 'I think it's a disgrace to say that any man or woman in the military acts like [Nazis] or that a report is like that,' Daley said.
'You go and talk to some victims of the Holocaust and they will tell you horror stories, and there are not horror stories like that in Guantanamo Bay,' Daley said."

Now, if only we could get the critics (remember Newsweek's Qu'ran desecration tale) of the war on terror (and that's what we're really dealing with here, not just the Gitmo accusations) to fully verify stories and think about them first, before shooting their mouths off. Maybe they could show as much support for our side, as they do for our enemies.
