Well said, Mousepod.

My original entree into this thread was to oppose the "disgusting individual" moniker employed by the OP. I, for one, detest this climate in which certain names and regimes must not be mentioned ever again in polite and informed conversation.

Comparison of tactics and actions does not imply equivalence.

Mr. Durbin's whole point that Americans will not accept the treatment that's been documented in these facilities is lost because some yahoo gets his feeling hurt because some historically documented criminal regimes have used SOME of the same tactics.

Equivalence is not implied. Nobody said we were no different than the Nazis. The point is we're not different ENOUGH!
