Mule, not speaking for any of my liberal brethren, but I believe a lot of what we're tired of is the Right's big hammer approach to Everything.
You wouldn't adjust your valves with a ball peen hammer, would you? it's just simplistic, "if you aren't with us, you're against us" "wanted dead or alive" made for TV crap that plays well at the moment but is totally ineffective in the long run. Bin laden who?
Taking Durbin's speech in context, I don't see your problem with it. Either we are using some of the same methods of interrogation at Gitmo the Nazi's and Stalin or we aren't.
the Pentagon seems to confirm that we are. It's pretty simple really. Your beef is with Rumsfeld, not the Left.
And it all boils down to becoming what we hate! Quite simply, our enemies use these same tactics. Either we stand for something greater than they, or we reduce ourselves to their level.
I know your argument against this logic and I feel that it's weak and indefensible in the face of The Constitution. Honestly, the Right is doing more to tarnish our nation and all that it stands for than any terrorist ever could.
Just one view from the Left.
