#1 Senators Richard Durbin (D-al Jazeera) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Chivas Regal) issued a joint statement in response. "The Guantanamo Bay detainees deserve the same consideration in policymaking as any other Democratic Party contributor and interest group. They scratched our back, and now we're scratching theirs."

#2 In a rather comical - no make that classically DhimmiMoonbat hypocritical - aside, Bret Hume reported today, after covering the Chappaquiddick Diving Team's dustup with Rummy, that [and I'll paraphrase with liberal editing for fun] only 3 Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee (IIRC) have not been to Iraq - Liz Dole, who's got a trip planned and will visit shortly, RINO Specter - for health reasons, and Tugboat Teddy - for no fucking reason whatsoever - except mebbe cuz they wouldn't permit his 18 wheeler emergency liquor supply to accompany him.

Yet there he is, day after day, spewing his quagmire BS memery when he doesn't know shit from shinola, on that topic or any other of note. Bret had a good time with it, lol!

#4 "Senators Richard Durbin (D-al Jazeera) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Chivas Regal)" LOL! I love it! BTW Ted "Tequila Sunrise" Kennedy is starting a petition to get Rumsfeld to resign. I think Teddy is confused that people sometimes call Rumsfeld "Rummy" and thinks that he should be the only person with that title.

#5 .. establish a precise legal status for these and future prisoners.''

Uh huh. Establish a precise "legal status" for illegal combatants. Check.

``I'm comfortable that the mistakes of the past have been corrected.''

Who says what happened in the past at Gitmo were actually "mistakes" on our part??

#7 "... and that the United States would not suffer further embarrassments because of the way detainees were treated."

First, it wasn't an embarrassment - the howling of the MSM and Dems is an embarrassment.

Second, the rest of "the world" is going to hate and revile us no matter what we do, so let's do it right - from our perspective.

#8 Besides the other fine points everyone made, our military already has more than enough rules for handling those Gitmo goons!
So why doesn't the Senate just BUTT OUT and get busy doing something useful, like confirming Bolton!
