	Durbin's tearful apology Democrats make cowardly retreat on Guantánamo torture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Senator Richard Durbin’s sniveling apology Tuesday for his remarks on US torture at the Guantánamo Bay prison camp was entirely predictable, another of the “profiles in cowardice” that the Democratic Party serves up on a regular basis.
		Durbin’s inability to answer his attackers in kind recalls the old political adage, “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” But the ease with which the Republican right and sections of the media reduced the Senate’s Democratic whip to a sniveling wimp is not merely a matter of personal character traits.
		Durbin is a typical example, a man who spent his entire life working his way up the ladder of the political machine, serving as legal counsel to state politicians before his elevation first to the House and then the Senate.

		Durbin took advantage of the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal to capitalize politically, introducing legislation to reaffirm the U.S. ban on torture and grilling White House counsel Alberto Gonzales on the issue during his confirmation hearings to be Attorney General.
		Durbin also joined with several of his Democrat colleagues in calling for the closure of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, where al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists and enemy combatants are being held.

	NR Editors on Richard Durbin on National Review Online
		Richard Durbin, the Democratic senator from Illinois, cries that “right-wing media” have wrenched his recent jeremiad against interrogation techniques at U.S. detention centers from its proper context.
		To the extent that Durbin sees U.S. interrogation methods as similar to the practices of genocidal despots, and to the extent that he thinks President Bush authorized these methods, he must, to the same degree, think Bush is similar to a genocidal despot.
		Durbin’s words have already been aired by al Jazeera, whose viewership is not known for the dispassionate reason it brings to bear when evaluating the merits of the anti-American slander du jour.
