Senator Durbin's very round-about allusion: "you might be inclined to think that this was" is so far from
being a direct simile. Never-the-less, I DO think that glib comparisons to Hitler, of which there are so many these days,
are offensive, tasteless, and just plain lazy.
But look how the republicans turned that around, all out of proportion, like a scrappy kid at school, who when you discipline him/her, he/she complains to his/her parents on a trumped-up charge. And now the continuous buzz you hear on TV is
more about semantics than it is about the real problem: the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. These republicans are masters of spin.
