Last time I checked the nazis never prosecuted their own soldiers for mistreating prisoners. This Bu$Hitler stuff is getting a little old.

Care to prove to me how the TV, and newspapers aen't a liberal rag?

A rag is a slang term for a newspaper, so by definition TV cannot be a rag.

Also, you can't prove a negative.

Enough?

Who's this pointed towards? As for this as proof, I checked for quite some time... and this didn't come up on the news section of Google...and still hasn't...

Routers only just showed up... Either google is having a nervous breakdown or something...  either way have you heard about this on the TV at all? Cause I haven't seen it on any newspaper either...

Then how about this:

A senator giving a speech that does not announce or comment on a policy initiative is not news. The job of the media is not to spread noxious, hypocritical conservative outrage. It is only news to "people" like Hannity who make their living stoking the anger felt by white men who need an outlet for their feelings of fear and helplessness.

I didn't hear it on Hannity, can't stand him personally.

And then what is the reason of the media? To spread noxious, hypocritical liberal outrage?

Today CNN.com ran a story on the Downing Street Memo. It was on the right hand side until it was knocked down to Inside Politics.

This is a memo that basically shows the administration a) planned to go to war the whole time and b) would bend intel to fit the policy. The memo was released in London in May.

I haven't seen any serious discussion of this in "liberal" media. (Of course, I no longer watch CNN.)

I don't know what to tell you if you're upset up a sixteen-hour-old story. Probably you should eat less sugar.

But keep complaining if it makes you feel better.

I'm so sick of this crap. You guys whine like little girls -- "oh my god, he called american soldiers nazis." First, he did no such thing, and second, the issue is not rhetoric, it's smurfing torture. If the Bushies don't like being compared to nazis, they need to stop acting like them.

Booster, no one here has tortured anyone, and if you are all about the Bu$Hitler, perhaps you would like to explain why the military is prosecuting abusers, a totally non-nazi thing to do.

I anxiously await your analysis.

Prosecuting low level soldiers and letting war criminals like Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney run free is not dealing with the problem.

Another senior Senate Democrat, Richard Durbin of Illinois, drawing on conditions described in FBI documents, this week compared how U.S. jailers treat Guantanamo prisoners to actions by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and former Cambodian leader Pol Pot. Some lawmakers and former President Jimmy Carter have called for the prison to be closed.

The White House denounced Durbin's comments.

``To compare the way our military treats detainees with the Soviet gulags, the Nazi concentration camps, and Pol Pot's regime is simply reprehensible,'' said spokesman Scott McClellan, noting those governments killed millions of people.
....

In a a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Durbin read from FBI documents describing how U.S. military jailers chained detainees hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor for 18 to 24 hours at a time, with the prisoners urinating and defecating on themselves, placed them in frigid or very hot rooms and played extremely loud rap music.

``If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime, Pol Pot, or others that had no concern for human beings,'' Durbin said.

The White House and Senate Republicans on Thursday assailed a Democrat for comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.

It is ''beyond belief'' that Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin would compare the treatment of dangerous enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay to the death of millions of innocent people by oppressive governments, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
