Durbin MUST be censured

For his disgusting comparison of our soldiers to Nazis, Soviet Gulag guards, and Pol Pot's henchmen, Senator Dick Durbin should resign in shame, especially since he has dug his heels in and refuses-because of pride, obviously- to apologize and correct himself.

Since the link is lengthy, here are the observations by an FBI agent from Guantanamo:

"On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. ….. On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night.
On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor."

And here's what Durbin had to say about it:

"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime–Pol Pot or others–that had no concern for human beings." **WRONG, Senator! I would NOT have thought such treatment to be at the hands of Nazis, Gulag guards, or Pol Pot's killers, for it was far too humane and gentle to be attributed to those monsters!** Durbin concludes: "Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

There you have it. HIS words. HIS comparison. HIS shame and disgrace.
I agree with a caller to the Hugh Hewitt show when he said from now on, we should refer to future killings by Islamofascist terrorists as "Durbin-deaths".
I think that's fitting. Because Al Jazera will play these remarks by the #2 Democrat over, and over, and over again.

Conversely, if you have the stomach for it, here is The Jawa Report blog with evidence of what our enemies do. CAUTION: Graphic pictures included. This is not a joke.
I have to take a walk and clear my head of those images. I only wish I could stumble upon a pyramid of naked detainees (alive and well, of course) listening to loud rap music in 50 or 105 degree weather, so that I could replace those images.
