I thought you'd enjoy that.

But seriously, our corporate media has been trumpeting that exact same take all day long. "Durbin sez our leaders and military are like nazis". It's bull****. I explained why above.

My, that's a pretty document. No typos. Straight margins. A lot of work obviously went into it's production. Perhaps we should put as much work into getting this administration to actually abide by it. Or did I miss the part where it say it's A-OK to torture enemy combatants?

And as an aside, may I just say how offensive it is to me and many more like me to see the memory of 9/11 whored as it is in this document to support our illegal actions in Iraq.
