CHICAGO (CBS 2) Mayor
Daley says it's time for Senator Dick Durbin to apologize for comparing U.S. soldiers to Nazis and the Guantanamo Bay prison
to a Soviet gulag.
Durbin's fighting words were meant for republicans, but now he's feeling the heat from a fellow
democrat whose support he can't do without.
“If you really believe those men and women in Guatamano Bay are Nazis,
then you'd better rethink what America's all about,” Mayor Daley said.
Daley's reaction was harsh, but with a
son in the Army and potentially heading to war, maybe not such a surprise.
Durbin, as the number two leader among
senate democrats, launched his rhetorical strike last week.
Durbin's remarks were calculated to rev-up dems by bashing
the Bush administration's treatment of Iraqi prisoners. It may have backfired.
“Well, I think it's a disgrace
and he's a good friend of mine but I think it's a disgrace to say that any man or woman in the military acts like that, or
that report is like that. You go and talk to some victims of the Holocaust and they will tell you horror stories and there
are not horror stories like that in Guatamano Bay,” Daley said.
Durbin attempted a near apology on Friday by
issuing a statement on his website saying "I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand my true feelings...
our country's standing in the world community has been badly damaged by the prison abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo."

Letter to Senator Durbin From Paul Galanti
Senator Durbin,
As one who was held
in a North Vietnamese Prison for nearly seven years and whose definition of torture and bad treatment is somewhat at variance
with yours, I deplore your senseless comments about alleged
"barbaric treatment" at our terrorist detention facility at
Guantanamo.
Your remarks comparing Guantanamo to the regimes of Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot are outrageous. I tried
to think of why a rational human being could make such an outlandish statement but I keep coming up short. I
thought I'd
seen it all when Howard Dean performed his infamous scream in Iowa but your diatribe yesterday eclipsed Dean's moment of Hannibal
Lecter lunacy. And your moment of pique will be infinitely more damaging to members of our Armed Forces serving in harm's
way.
I noted, when searching for your contact information, that the first item Google came up with was al Jazeera's
joy at your comments. You, sir, for having aided and abetted the enemy in time of war, have been
relegated in my mind
to the status of Jane Fonda and your colleague, John Kerry as contemptible traitors.
I hope not too many of our valiant
members of the Armed Forces have to suffer for your stupid comments. Shame on you.
This is copied to the Chicago Tribune's
Letters Editor.
It is blindcopied to my family members from Illinois and to several military blog groups to which I subscribe.
Sincerely,
Paul
E. Galanti

Why are the two teenage boys' in the below picture eyes
closed?
I found this great PTSD article on a military
base. It was in a FAMILY MAGAZINE for American troops.
PTSD does not only hit our military men
and women. It impacts a great number of Americans, who never left home...
Child abuse, elderly abuse, marital abuse,
street crime victims (rape), etc. are some of the biggest sufferers.
Understanding PTSD is a great way from keeping
it from passing down through generations.
MORE AND MORE LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT
LEADERS ARE LINING UP TO COMPARE THIS WAR ON TERRORISM WITH
THE VIETNAM WAR. SINCE HOLLYWOOD'S MOVIES WERE MOSTLY ALL
WRONG ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR AND YOU WERE NOT TAUGHT ABOUT
THE VIETNAM WAR IN SCHOOL, LEARN IT ON THE INTERNET...
THE BELOW ARTICLES COME FROM THE BOOK
DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS OF
THE VIETNAM WAR

IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF...
(Who Are Today's Terrorist Connections?)
Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese
communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman.
Researchers Troy Jenkins and Tom Wyld located
the two Vietnamese communist documents referenced above in the archives of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University, in
the Douglas Pike Collection. Douglas Pike was a leading authority on the Vietnam War who collected over 2 million pages of
original documents now archived at the Vietnam Center. James Reckner, Ph.D., Director of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech,
verifies that the documents in the Pike collection are original and authentic. The Circular and the Directive are listed as
items numbered 2150901039b and
2150901041 respectively.

Yes, the American Liberal News Media is one

Amnesty International: Insurgents are guilty
The Amnesty International report — "In Cold Blood: Abuses by Armed Groups" — said (terrorist)
insurgents were guilty of direct attacks intended to cause the greatest possible loss of civilian life, indiscriminate attacks
resulting in the deaths of civilians, targeting humanitarian organizations, abductions and killing captured and defenseless
police and military personnel.
"There is no honor nor heroism in blowing up people going to pray or murdering a terrified hostage.
Those carrying out such acts are criminals, nothing less, whose actions undermine any claim they may have to be pursuing a
legitimate cause," Amnesty said.
