Senator shows astonishing lack of sense

If I read you this quote likening Americans to Nazis and Soviets and Pol Pot, you would certainly expect it to come from a hard left source like CounterPunch or the Progressive, which does not believe in the War on Terror. Sadly, that is not the case. This was a comment from Senate Minority Whip, Dick Durbin:

"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. Sadly, that
is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their
prisoners."
