Blackfive has some observations about how the democrats myopic attacks on GITMO will probably have repercussions for years to come. You don’t go around making unsubstantiated attacks on our fighting men and women when they are the ones putting their lives on the line.
think the storm is still gathering on this [...]

The liberals fantasy that Iraq and Al Quaeda were never connected so that there was no way WMD know-how could get into terrorists hands is being destroyed. First Christopher Hitchens rips Ronnie-boy Reagan for being niave and ignorant all at once (hat tip Hugh Hewitt) and now Stephen Hayes comes out with more details [...]

OK, uppity new bloggers like myself should probably tread gently when questioning the more revered conservative voices. But, unfortunately for me, that is not in my character.
Viking Pundit has a post questioning John Cole’s recent attempt to defend Durbin from the worst of his well deserved criticism. Viking is quite mild in his [...]

I meant to go slogging through the democrat sites to get their reactions to Durbin’s capitulation (to polls and Daley, not to the truth or honor of our military), but Jawa Report had already done some posting on the response. So in I went.
I am beginning to really wonder whose side is Durbin and [...]

In my desire to try and do something about the outrageous and false claims made on GITMO and the men and women working there I decided one thing I could do is pull together all the interviews (pro and con) from people stationed at GITMO. I have included interviews from detainees who were positive [...]

Hat Tip to Jawa Report on this find. But a huge thank you to Right Thinking Girl for getting this very important interview! I know many people will be linking too it, but I want to help get the word out as much as I can.
Most intriguing section to me was this:
RTG: Tell [...]

What in the world is going on with the liberal democrats and the liberal media? Not 24 hours has transpired since Durbin’s faux apology and they continue to claim there were atrocities at GITMO!
Hugh Hewitt has this covered and it is revolting. Please read his posts on the continued bashing of our military [...]

UPDATE:
The more I think about the PR boon Durbin provided our enemies the more I realize I could care less about a 3rd bogus apology. What I want is for the senate democrats to come out en masse and admit Durbin’s comments were inappropriate and probably did more to recruit more terrorists than any [...]

In contrast with the absolutely strained rationales supporting Dysmal Durbin’s claims, Bill Frist is calling for Durbin to apologize - for real this time.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist yesterday demanded that Sen. Richard J. Durbin make a “formal apology” on the floor of the Senate for comparing U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazi and [...]

It seems the liberals and their MSM cohorts have decided to take their stand on GITMO and side with the terrorists against the evil Americans. Lots of articles and op-ed pieces out today which make clear the summer political battle lines are now drawn. I feel for the left, they have been reduced [...]

Hat tip to Lori Byrd on this perfect slap down of the democrats’ living icon. From Betsy Newmark:
So, Bill Clinton, a former president, is now on record for believing the allegations of former detainees rather than the U.S. military which denies those charges. Yup, he shows more faith in a terrorist, trained to tell [...]

Don Surber has a great list of how the liberal pols (and to some extent the MSM) support our troops. Here is a snippet, please read the whole thing
1. By banning military recruiters from their campuses.
2. By voting against new weapons.
3. By using the military to debate social issues.
4. By voting against arming our [...]

The NYTimes is reporting on a scene of brutal torture, beatings, shackled prisoners, electric wire.
Oh….., never mind. It was torture of Iraqis by terrorists. I’m guessing Dysmal Durbin is only interested in stories about fellow Americans torturing people.

Here is the lead sentence from AP on Durbin’s non-apology:
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Friday that he regretted any misunderstandings caused by his comments earlier this week comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis.
Now here is non-apology from Durbin:
“More than 1700 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq and our country’s standing in [...]

Powerline has the first indication that Durbin and the Dems will need to face up to the storm Durbin has caused with his over-the-top partisan rhetoric. Durbin has not only insulted our military, but given plenty of PR ammunition to the terrorists.
So the Boston Herald is the first newspaper to call for Durbin to [...]
