Taking its cue from the Right Wing Noise Machine, the White House enters the
fray.
The White House said a senator's comparison of American interrogators at
Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot was
reprehensible and a disservice to those serving in the military.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said it is "beyond belief" that
Illinois Sen. ***** Durbin would compare treatment of dangerous enemy combatants
at Guantanamo Bay to the death of millions of innocent people by oppressive
regimes.
What is beyond belief is that the type of torture more at home under tyrants and
dictators is being seen in camps flying the United States flag.
If McClellan and Bush want to defend torture, that's their right. But it's not
the America I believe in.
