POW Paul Galanti gives Durbin the whatfor....
| Quote: | POW Blasts Durbin
THE FOLLOWING LETTER was sent from retired Navy Commander Paul Galanti to Senator Dick Durbin. Galanti is one of my father's Annapolis classmates, who spent seven years as a prisoner-of-war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton.
Senator Durbin,
As one who was held in a North Vietnamese Prison for nearly seven years and whose definition of torture and bad treatment is somewhat at variance with yours, I deplore your senseless comments about alleged "barbaric treatment" at our terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo.
Your remarks comparing Guantanamo to the regimes of Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot are outrageous. I tried to think of why a rational human being could make such an outlandish statement but I keep coming up short. I thought I'd seen it all when Howard Dean performed his infamous scream in Iowa but your diatribe yesterday eclipsed Dean's moment of Hannibal Lecter lunacy. And your moment of pique will be infinitely more damaging to members of our Armed Forces serving in harm's way.
I noted, when searching for your contact information, that the first item Google came up with was al Jazeera's joy at your comments. You, sir, for having aided and abetted the enemy in time of war, have been relegated in my mind to the status of Jane Fonda and your colleague, John Kerry as contemptible traitors.
I hope not too many of our valiant members of the Armed Forces have to suffer for your stupid comments. Shame on you.
Sincerely,
Paul E. Galanti
Commander, U.S. Navy (Ret.) When I was a midshipman at Annapolis, I would often go to the Class of '62 tailgaters after the football games with my father. I spoke with Galanti several times.
He never once mentioned his experience in the Hanoi Hilton.

I LOVE YOU, CDR Galanti!!!!!
This is a completely straight-up man - he has sure nailed this behavior for what it is.

Since we know we won't see it in the leftstream media, I hope we hear it on Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and others all week.
These leftist weenies cost us thousands of American lives in Viet Nam. Seems they are now panting to repeat their misadventures.

Great letter!!
By the way, where is John McCain's outrage? What a perfect opportunity for him to have raised h***, and earned some respect from us all. And maybe even a few votes from the less aware. |
