		Dick Durbin (D-IL) was a guest today (September 12, 2006) on Your World w/Cavuto and I have no doubt that Democrats who saw him were screaming at their television sets by the time the segment was over.
		Durbin appeared to explain why "some Democrats" are upset that George Bush mentioned Iraq in his 9/11 anniversary speech last night.
		Durbin sounded like a petty nitpicker because he didn't mention the ONE THING that validated his argument - that even George Bush has admitted that Saddam Hussein and Iraq had "nothing" to do with 9/11.

	Dick Durbin Wants Sergeant Schultz to be in Charge at Gitmo
		Dick Durbin, a Democrat Senator from Illinois, has compared the prisoner-of-war conditions at Guantanamo to Pol Pot’s murder of about 1.5 million Cambodians, Adolf Hitler’s genocidal madness that left 9 million dead throughout Europe, and Stalin’s Gulag where about 20 million met their death in order to bring about a more equitable society.
		Senator Durbin believes that it is fair to compare the isolation and harassment of a few detainees being held at Guantanamo with these genocidal murderers whose names engender immediate revulsion.
		Durbin’s obvious intelligence could make such a public relations blunder, but this seems to be the nature of politics today.

		Durbin's apology to these aggrieved groups seems to have cooled tempers some, but he will have a long way to go to regain the trust of these foreign torturers.

		The rise of Durbin holds out the prospect of the something extra that Democrats have been missing: an edgy willingness to battle the powers that be, not just in the Senate but in the court of public opinion.

	Breaking the Durbin Code
		Not only did Durbin's remarks injure America's position in the world, provide an enormous propaganda victory to the enemy, and slander the United States military, they also represent an escalation in the political rhetoric of the left, which is designed to undermine the public's confidence in the military, the administration, and the war.
		The outrage over Dick Durbin's comparison of interrogation practices at Gitmo to the Nazi, Soviet, and Pol Pot regimes has deeply injured Durbin's reputation and the reputation of the Democratic party that keeps him in the number two leadership position in the United States Senate.
		Durbin's original remarks on Tuesday, June 14, and his subsequent commentary and statements tell us a great deal about the strategy and mindset of the Democratic party as we approach the fourth anniversary of the war's beginning.

		DURBIN: I can understand that there are differences of opinion, but I think there is this point-- we've reached the point here where the tax cuts have brought us into a deficit situation, and as he toys with this idea of privatization, it really does raise a question of his credibility.
