Durbin's Comments About Detainees Treatment At Gitmo

[andyfox]

"Everyone should stop and and think about just how destructive to rationality, AND THEREFORE TO RATIONAL SOLUTIONS, such deceptive hyperbole can be."

But a politician's stock in trade is neither rationality nor rational decisions. It's getting reelected, looking good, and interpreting events to fit his ideology and preconceived notions. As I've brought up here time and time again, especially when it comes to war and going to war, lies and damned lies are the rule of the day. The president claims if we don't invade a country we'll see a mushroom cloud here; his opponent says he voted for the money for the troops before he voted against it; and a senator compares cold temperatures to Dachau.

SOP. And SOB.
