What Doesn't Transmit Light, Creates It's Own Darkness

An Open Letter to Sen.Richard (Dick) Durbin:

I have waited many days before posting this letter to you only because I was experiencing such disgust, contempt, and vitriol towards your putrid misguided lies about our Military, Our Gov't and the treatment of those incarcerated at Gitmo, that I needed to calm down enough to write it without vomiting!

As the daughter of a Jewish parent, your audacious comparison of the intentional systemic genocide of Jews perpetuated by Hitler and the German gov't, to the treatment of suspected terrorists at Gitmo who are receiving meals worthy of any five star Hotel, and being handcuffed and forced to listen to "rap music" has filled me with revulsion, contempt, disgust towards you and all your supporters!

(I'm curious: How is RAP music considered a form of torture since rap music sales to AMERICANS alone generate MILLIONS of dollars in revenue - so are ALL those Americans being willingly tortured when they listen to rap music, and all those station owners of radios that broadcast rap, on equal footing with Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler? )

Let me understand this, DICKHEAD, being handcuffed and listening to rap music is AKIN to baking human beings in ovens, labeling them with yellow stars so they can be identified for extermination, forcing them to work non stop, under the threat of death, with little food, placing them in concentration camps, for the ONLY crime of being Jewish?

The actions of Hitler, and those who committed some of the kinder atrocities I described above, are, in your opinion, the equivalent of receiving a five course meal and listening to rap music while being blindfolded and chained to a floor, for the crime of being a terrorist; Someone who systemically and without remorse kills those who do not subscribe to his theocracy, or because he / she has some kind of "gripe" against democracy, freedom, the US, Christians, Jews, secularists and non fundamentalist Islamists????

As the daughter of a Jew, I am sickened beyond words by you. As the daughter of an American, I am sickened beyond words by you, and as a decent member of humanity I am revolted by you.

As if your delusional comparison to what happened to incarcerated jews at the death camps isn't revolting enough, you also compare the benign treatment of terrorists at Gitmo to the treatment of those under two OTHER of the most murderous evil vile men of the 20th century, Pol Pot and Stalin. and you then have the AUDACITY to claim that you have been MISUNDERSTOOD by a few members of the right wing media????????????

Are you suffering from brain damage? I'm serious! Short of that, there can be NO UNDERSTANDABLE reason for you to claim you were "misunderstood" OR to have made these VILE remarks in the first place! Nor can there EVER be any SANE reason for anyone to support you, including the clearly braindead, piece of shit Maxine Waters and all those Americans, be they the fuckwits of the Hollywood unintelligentsia, or the MSM, or leftwing loons that are part of the plebs - the hoary masses- who are suffering from cognitive disconnance, and remain blinded by stupidity, wrapped in ignorance, and shrouded in arrogance.

Let me share with you HOW those nice terrorists you feel we are "treating with techniques of such horror" that include, five star meals, sensitivity to handling the Koran, and to the religious practices of Muslims, and other such HORRIFIC acts like chaining them to the floor and having them listen to rap music( I wonder how many rap artists are happy to know that you and your ilk consider the music they perform to be "torture " and deemed a form of cruel and unusual punishment") are treating INNOCENT Iraqi's in these wonderful places called "Torture Houses" !

Here is a story from the LEFT WING New York Times ( so you can't accuse me of spewing out Right wing rhetoric)

Iraqi's Found In Torture House, by Sabrina Tavernise

KARABILA, Iraq, Sunday, June 19 - Marines on an operation to eliminate insurgents that began Friday broke through the outside wall of a building in this small rural village to find a torture center equipped with electric wires, a noose, handcuffs, a 574-page jihad manual - and four beaten and shackled Iraqis.

The American military has found torture houses after invading towns heavily populated by insurgents - like Falluja, where the anti-insurgent assault last fall uncovered almost 20 such sites. But rarely have they come across victims who have lived to tell the tale.

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.

In an interview with an embedded reporter just hours after he was freed, he said he had never seen the faces of his captors, who occasionally whispered at him, "We will kill you." He said they did not question him, and he did not know what they wanted. Nor did he ever expect to be released.

"They kill somebody every day," said Mr. Fathil, whose hands were so swollen he could not open a can of Coke offered to him by a marine. "They've killed a lot of people."

The manual recovered - a fat, well-thumbed Arabic paperback - listed itself as the 2005 First Edition of "The Principles of Jihadist Philosophy," by Abdel Rahman al-Ali. Its chapters included "How to Select the Best Hostage," and "The Legitimacy of Cutting the Infidels' Heads."

Also recovered were several fake passports, a black hood, the painkiller Percoset, handcuffs and an explosives how-to-guide. Three cars loaded with explosives were parked in a garage outside the house. The marines blew them up.

This is Mr. Fathil's account of his ordeal.

He was having a lunch of lettuce and cucumbers in the kitchen of his home in the small desert village of Rabot with his mother and brother. An Opel sedan pulled up. Two men in masks carrying machine guns got out, seized him, and, leaving his mother sobbing, put him in the trunk of their car.

The drove to the house here. They taped his face, put cotton in his ears, and began to beat him.

The only possible explanation for the seizure he could think of was his time in the new Iraqi Army. Unemployed and illiterate, Mr. Fathil signed up after the American occupation began.

But nine months ago, when continuing working meant risking the wrath of the Jihadists, he quit. In all, 10 friends from his unit have been killed, he said. So have his uncle and his uncle's son, though neither ever worked as soldiers.

The men tended to talk in whispers, he said, telling him five times a day, in low voices in his ear, to pray, and offering him sand, instead of water, to wash himself. Just once, he asked if he could see his mother, and one of them said to him, "You won't leave until you are dead."

Mr. Fathil did not know there were other hostages. He found out only after the captors left and he was able to remove the tape from his eyes.

The routine in the house was regular. Because of the windows, it was always dark inside. Mr. Fathil said he was fed once a day, and allowed to use a bathroom as necessary in the back of the house.

( I'm betting it wasnt the same kind of five star menu served at Gitmo)

When marines burst in, one of the captives was lying under a stairwell, badly beaten. At first, they thought he was dead.

The others were emaciated and battered. Mr. Fathil had fared the best. The other three were taken by medical helicopter to Balad, a base near Baghdad with a hospital.

But he still had been hurt badly. Marks from beatings criss-crossed his back, and deep pocks, apparently from electric shock burns, were gouged in his skin.

The shocks, he said, felt "like my soul is being ripped out of my body." But when he would start to scream, and his body would pull up from the shock, they would begin to beat him, he said.

Mr. Fathil has been at the Marine base south of Qaim since his release, on Saturday around noon. His mother still does not know he is alive.

(Please note how he is Being treated with dignity, receiving medical attention, being fed, being protected - which is alot more than ANY of those terrorists would do if they found our men wounded)

When she was mentioned, he bowed and lowered his head, and began to cry softly, wiping his face with the jumpsuit given him by the marines.

He asked a reporter for help to move to another town, because it was too dangerous for his family to remain in their house. He begged not to have a photograph taken, even of the scars on his back. The captors took pictures of that, he said.

His town has always been a good place, he said, but the militants have made it hell.

"These few are destroying it," he said, his face streaked with tears. "Everybody they take, they kill. It's on a daily basis pretty much."

DO YOU SEE WHAT THESE EVIL VILE TERRORISTS ARE DOING TO INNOCENT IRAQI'S, DICKhead Durbin???? Do you understand that compared to what this poor innocent man and the other two men we found, went through, the "torturous treatment those being held at Gitmo are "enduring" is like spending a day at Camp Disney!
There is no comparison!!!!

HOW DARE YOU CONDEMN THE MUNDANE ACTIONS OF THOSE AT GITMO WHEN TERRORISTS ARE TREATING CIVILIANS IN THIS EVIL TWISTED MANNER??? AND WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK THEY LEARNED THIS FROM?? NONE OTHER THAN UDAY WHO USED TO RAPE HIS WOMEN THEN FEED THEM TO HIS PET LIONS and was taught this exemplary form of behavior from " Daddy Dearest" SADDAM.

Where do you think that vile excuse for a human being, Zarquawi, get's his inspiration about how to treat those he imprisons in his Torture House, or for that matter anyone he views as an infidel , which by the way includes YOU Dick?! NOT FROM THE US GOV'T AND THE MILITARY AT GITMO!!!!!

That we haven't treated these evil infested scum of human excrement known as terrorists in a similiar manner at Gitmo or even Abu Ghraib speaks loudly to the essential difference between US and THEM! These evil life forms are what we are fighting! And sadly only SOME of them are being held at Gitmo! Perhaps some are innocent and do not deserve to be there - PERHAPS- but still compared to the treatment Mr Fathil - who only crime we KNOW WAS THAT HE JOINED THE IRAQI ARMY, YET WAS A CIVILIAN WHEN KIDNAPPED FROM HIS HOME - was subjected to, those who may not belong there, as well as those who DO, have NEVER been treated in such a vile manner by the US MILITARY AND THE US GOV'T. We may use some extreme measures to secure information that will prevent innocent Americans, and Europeans from being killed in the form of another 9/11 from these scumbags....SO FUCKING WHAT????

I think Mr Fathil would have GLADLY traded places with those at Gitmo who have had to"ENDURE" such reprehensible and vile "torture" as listening to rap music!

Let me share with you an excerpt from an email sent to Buzz Colby, whose blog I never liked
( I think this was wasted on Buzz, who was then and is now still blinded by his own celebrity), from his Battalion Commander "Knute Lombatton"

We are all threatened by this evil, and evil it is. This enemy has twisted and distorted things both sacred and profane to guide as well as justify its means and its stated end. Nothing is beyond the realm of the possible when it comes to the depths to which it will sink, the horror it is willing to commit, or the suffering it is willing to inflict. This enemy has no concept of mercy nor does it recognize combatants. Innocence is not a factor!

Beware the onslaught of false prophets who preach the one size fits all solution. Look beneath the facade of their self proclaimed patriotism, peel back the shield of their dogma, and you are likely to find a charlatan malcontent who was passed over for some accolade he feels he richly deserved or a flim-flam artist who knows a chance to make a buck when he sees it. They don't have the will to endure. The will to be free comes at a heavy price.

You do not understand the price Dick, neither does Maxine, the MSM, Sean Penn and his Hollywood band of Fuckwits, and that asshat Michael MooreON, as well as those Americans who support and applaud your bullshit. Likewise, they and you do not have the will.

GO TO HELL Dick........there's a place waiting for you next to Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin.
