Gingrich's Letter....Full Text Here
~snip
Senator Durbin's statement of "regret" on Friday has only compounded the need for the Senate to act. In it, Senator Durbin said that "I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood. I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand my true feelings ... " Incredibly, Senator Durbin is sticking to his original assertion that there is indeed, in his own words, an "historic parallel" between U.S. soldiers at Guantanamo Bay and the killers under Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. In other words, his only regret is that Americans don't understand his misreading of history and that he has caused us to misunderstand him. Offering no apology for the original slanderous statement itself, Senator Durbin has chosen instead to actually defend his comparisons. This defense makes his original speech all the more revolting. _________________ .

Do you think the American Legion and or the VFW would participate in a campaign to tone down the rhetoric that is providing aid & comfort to the enemy? I think the politicians might heed the warnings from organizations whose roles are in the millions. _________________ Defender of the honor of those in harms way keeping us out of harms way.

The only historical parallel I can draw is that the rhetoric of the politicians and media of the late 60s and early 70s lead to an embodiment of an enemy that lead to the loss of thousands of Americans and millions of innocent civilians. _________________ Defender of the honor of those in harms way keeping us out of harms way.
