Senator Durbin really apologized for his comments comparing us to Nazis etc.. I’m not finding any other text but what the AP put out and that’s kind of sad. It was a better speach than they’re making it out to be. He quoted Lincoln and he did it well.

I’m not sure that it’s anything more than regretting the political fallout, but it’s much more than I ever expected and it was done with much more grace than I thought he was capable of.

Well done sir. I know that had to hurt.

As for a bi-partisan, independant, commision, investigating supposed wrong-doings at Gitmo and elsewhere. Go for it. I have no doubt that our folks haven’t done a damn thing wrong. If any of them have, they need busted.
