Who Is This Nutjob?
sen. dick durbin apparently has come completely unhinged. recently he castigated american treatment of prisoners, comparing the captors to nazis, soviets, and pol pot. can you guess why? any conjectures as to what heinous acts the evil americans were engaging in?
you guessed it! they played with climate control via the air conditioner and made detainees listen to RAP MUSIC!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here are durbin's own words, stranger, indeed, than fiction.
somebody get me dick durbin on the phone. i don't even HAVE air conditioning, and my apartment has been scorching for the last several days. perhaps he could pol pot-ize my landlord on the senate floor and get the whole nation aware of my own private gulag, and i'll finally see some relief. i'll even let him know that last year the people across the street used to play REALLY LOUD MUSIC WITH IMPUNITY!!!
that should get him on my side.
p.s. you can read more from durbin's remarks here (LvAT.)

On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. ..... On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor.
If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
