No Need

According the Washington Post, Dick Durbin has apologized for his remarks last week when he asked what a listener might think of an FBI agent’s description of a detainee’s treatment at Gitmo. Others have made far better defenses of his remarks than I ever could, so I won’t try. I do want to highlight one Durbin quote from the Post’s article, as I think it hits the nail right on the head:
“This administration should apologize to the American people for abandoning the Geneva Conventions and authorizing torture techniques that put our troops at risk and make Americans less secure,”
Yes they should.

I’m conflicted about the apology: used as a pulpit to cast further criticism is a good idea, but if all the headlines basically contain “apology” & “Nazi” the attention maybe more bad than good.
I wish Dems would just hold their ground when they have a point.
Did Republicans force this, or did the media. If the MSM mentions Godwin’s law we’re all in trouble!
