« VRWC Meeting Report | Main | Another Report From the Heart of the VRWC, Tennessee Chapter » June 19, 2005Gitmo and Sen. DurbinLance Frizzell on Dick Durbin: "Trent Lott got kicked to the curb for a lot less than this. If he stays, it will say a lot about today's Democrat Party." True. Also, Dustin Hawkins has some hilariously worded thoughts about Illinois Democrat Durbin calling Guantanamo Bay a "death camp." Senator Dick Durbin (D-Idiot) breathlessly announced the extent of the torture found at Gitmo, which included 1) a room that was too cold, causing a detainee to shake; 2) a room that was too hot, causing a detainee to sweat; and 3) a room that was filled with loud rap music. Anyone learning of this information would undoubtedly, according to Durbin, compare this to the slaughter of several million non-terrorist Jews in Hitler’s death camps, around 3 million persons murdered in Stalin’s gulags, and a few million more massacred by Pol Pot’s rampage in Cambodia.Hawkins emails that he recently relocated from Florida to the Nashville area. With writing that good - and that on-target - he's a fine addition to the Nashville blogosphere. Posted in War on Terror

Thanks for the tip! I'm always looking for fresh, new blood for Nashville is Talking. Posted by: brittney at June 19, 2005 10:13 PMEverybody complains about the overgrown, arrogant federal government, but nobody actually does anything about it. Nobody, that is, except real Americans like 'Cracking the Code' warriors Mark B and Carmen Dagostino, who know the difference between talking the talk and walking the walk. These American heroes recognize the distraction and insignificance of merely arguing about the best arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic, and have gone down to the engine room to make something meaningful happen. Carmen and Mark have insisted that their servant government abide by the written law, and have secured complete refunds of everything withheld from them for taxes by the federal Leviathan during 2004. Celebrate their victories on behalf of the rule of law and a better future for all of us here. Durbin did not call Gitmo a death camp. He said, 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. I.e., he's disappointed Gitmo resembles those places even to that extent. As Israeli historian Avi Schlaim once wrote, "The issue isn't whether or not we're the same as Nazis, because we're clearly not; it's whether we're different enough." Posted by: Thomas Nephew at June 20, 2005 12:43 PMWhy is it necessary to hold them at Guantanamo rather than at, say, Brushy Mountain? Also, assuming that Guantanamo is a highly secure location, why is there a need to send prisoners to other countries? Am I missing something? Posted by: SemiPundit at June 20, 2005 04:57 PMWhy GetMo SemiPundit? Castro keeps the demonstrators away. Also it rubs the nose of Democrats in a pile of castro. Why other countries? Share the expense. US doesn't want to hold these guys forever. Cost time and effort. GetMo allows the time to sort them out. I'm sure I have overlooked some items. Anyone else have more?
