No Senate Democrat would defend US military against Durbin's Nazi slander

No Democrat party member of the United States Senate, as of this date, has risen to defend American anti-terrorism forces against the slander of Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who compared US interrogation tactics to mass murderers like Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot.

Nearly a week has passed since Durbin first made his hateful comments, and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) has still declined to criticize. So have Senators Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn), and John Kerry (D-Mass).

Their silence shows not only a lack of judgement. It shows a lack of patriotism.
