| Daley says Durbin should apologize for Guantanamo remarks |
| 2005-06-21 |
| Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says Senator Dick Durbin should apologize for comments comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis. Daley says Durbin -- a fellow Democrat -- is a good friend. But he says it's wrong to evoke comparisons to the horrors of the Holocaust or the millions of people killed in Russia under Stalin or in Cambodia under Pol Pot. And Daley says it's a disgrace to accuse military men and women of such conduct. Last Friday, Durbin said he regretted any misunderstandings caused by his comments earlier in the week. He made the comparison after reading an F-B-I agent's report describing detainees at the Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as being chained to the floor without food or water in extreme temperatures.

| #7 Somone needs to give Turban Durban the Black Spot™. Arrrr! Better not take it out of the K'q'u'o'r'a'n or the Bible, though. |

| #6 Too right, Anonymoose. Turban Durban has officially been read off by da Boyz. He proceeds at his own peril. |

| #5 I think Daley was just the delivery boy for the Chicago machine. He wasn't asking Durbin, he was telling him. |

| #3 Daley's son enlisted in December. I've heard he is now serving in one of the Airborne Infantry units. I know several folks that have sons, brothers, etc. serving now and, to a person, they would like to tear Durbin's head off. And the women moreso then the men. People don't like their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters etc. who are serving their country compared to the Nazis, and despite what Durbin says he meant to say, that's what the douchebag did. |

| #2 very well might, I'd let Dr. Steve, et al, who reside there comment on that - Durbin is (3PM PST) just know doing another half-assed apology on the Senate Floor. Looks like the chickens came home to roost |

| #1 Smart move. Perhaps Mr. Daley would like to be the next senator from Ilinois. |
