Send This To Durbin

Sen. Durbin needs a little coursework in what does, and does not, constitute torture. As does most of the Democratic party.

Yesterday, US forces in Iraq discovered an insurgents' torture house. Here's part of the description from today's NY Times:
The men said they told the marines, from Company K, Third Marines, Second Division, that they had been tortured with shocks and flogged with a strip of rubber for more than two weeks, unseen behind the windows of black glass. One of them, Ahmed Isa Fathil, 19, a former member of the new Iraqi Army, said he had been held and tortured there for 22 days. All the while, he said, his face was almost entirely taped over and his hands were cuffed.
E-mail the link above to Durbin and other lost Dems, and note to them that it was US Marines that freed them, not US Marines that tortured them. And ask them to please shut up about turning up the air conditioning constituting "torture" at US facilities.
