Senator Dick Durbin (D) Compares U.S. Soldiers to Nazis
The following are Senator Dick Durbin's remarks on the Senate floor.
The Nazis brutually murdered more than 12 million people- 6 million Jews, including 1.5 million children (more than 2/3 of European Jewry) and 6 million others at death camps and mobile killing units. The Nazis practiced bizarre medical experiments on its prisoners (most often leading to the prisoner's death). Pol Pot was responsible for the murder of millions in Asia. Millions of people were murdered or starved to death in the Soviet Gulags.
The Nazis, Pol Pot's Cambodia, and the Soviet Union did not shy away from intense physical torture. Listening to Christina Aguilera music is, by no means, the same as the savage beatings administered by this triumvirate from hell, the murder of loved ones in front of their families, etc.
Not one prisoner has been killed by U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay. The detainees are given decent food and drink. The detainees are given copies of the Quran and allowed to practice their religious faith.
The "torture" described by Senator Durbin is being administered to obtain information about Al Quaida -you remember who they are Senator? On 9/11/01, they killed over 3,000 of our fellow Americans - innocent civillians (husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who will never see their loved ones again). These people that you sympathize with want to kill all Americans and given the opportunity would gladly recreate 9/11 or worse. It is not like they will gladly tell you the location of Osama Bin Laden's terrorist cell groups voluntarily... if they have to be made "uncomfortable", so be it.
If it means that my family, my friends and my fellow citizens can avoid another 9/11, then I have no problem with the faulty HVAC system at Guantanamo Bay or heaven forbid, the use of loud music. Where is your perspective??? What Senator Durbin said is outright slander of the good people that serve to protect our country. Whose side are you on Senator??
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.
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. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners
