And when exactly did I state that abusing the enemy isn't really so bad? I didn't. Exactly the opposite, in fact, urging prosecution of those responsible.

What I did, in this thread, was express disgust at Durbin for comparing Guantanamo to Nazi death camps, Pol Pot, and Soviet Gulags. Period.

There is no proof that lies were told to congress. None. In fact, the international intelligence community agreed with our assessments of Saddam's capabilities, though they disagreed on the solution.

But enough rehashing that which has been discussed ad nauseum. I still stand by my assessment of Durbin, and in fact, I read a small blurb that he regrets having said what he said. It was in my local Saturday paper, and I have no link, but I could go and look if anyone is really interested.
