Regrets...
Dodd Regrets Not Standing Up For Terrorists
“Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said he regretted being talked out of filibustering tough new tribunal legislation signed by president Bush on Tuesday, and plans to seek new legislation to overturn portions of the bill. Dodd denounced the measure, which civil liberty groups have said endangers many freedoms. The measure signed by Bush sets up military tribunals to try terror suspects and allows the introduction of evidence obtained through tough interrogation procedures.”
He also worried that the measure would result in severe treatment for American soldiers who are captured by enemies of the United States.
Dodd was campaigning in Iowa as he considers a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Aw... that's just so special, and fair, and kind, and compassionate. Treatment of prisoners is so important in times of war. Just ask Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin, who was captured by the enemy on April 9, 2004. Oh wait, you can't do that, can you? Of course you can't, because there has been no word from Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin, we don't know what happened to him, what horrors he has suffered, or even whether he is dead or alive and I'm willing to bet that you don't know about him, or even care to contemplate what kind of treatment he has received in the hands of our enemies.
Tell ya what Dodd, why don't we give their captured soldiers the same treatment they give our captured soldiers?
Instead of putting a pair of women's panties put on their head, or... threatening them with a barking dog, or... stacking them with other naked terrorists into a pyramid, or putting the bastards on a leash, we could cut off/ mutilate their facial features, cut their heart out, cut off their testicles, and their penis and stuff that in their mouth, contort their arms and gouge out their eyes, drag their bodies behind a car, saw off their heads with a kitchen knife and then dump their bodies in the street, stuffed with explosives as a trap to kill their friends and countrymen who come to find them!!
That's what they do to us and hey, I'm all for fair and equal treatment.
Why don't you do something worthwhile Dodd, and find out what happened to Keith Maupin?

I try to remember Keith Maupin every day.
I try to forget most of our politicians everyday!
We will only lose this war right here at home.

The 'it will harm captured us troops' is the biggest lie in their arsenal, particularly when McCain is making it. If anything he's a living testament to the fact that it doesn't work that way.
In every war from WW2 on US troops have been abused even as we bent over backwards for the enemy, germans and japanese massacred, starved and killed us soldiers while we treated their pow's better than our own citizens

Yes SK, and its true today, look at gitmo.
Those bastards eat better than the average American, they lounge in air conditioned comfort, hell, we even buy them korans.
It sickens me.

and the whining and mewling never stop of course... but that hasn't changed either... consider the post ww2 congressional hearings into whether the confessions of nazi officers who had murdered us soldiers were obtained under duress

Chris Dodd was a draft dodger who hid out in the Peace Corps, he has never experienced being shot at, shelled or mortored, neither has he experienced the anguish of the death of a fellow soldier at the hands of the enemy. A pox be upon his sorry carcass. He needs a severe dose of reality, like 30 days hands on experience in graves registration, or better yet let him pick up the dead from the streets of Amarah, it might change his outlook towards his prescious murdering Arabs.

You're absolutely right Jack, Dodd does need a severe dose of reality. He has been lost in time and space, and completely out of touch with what we are facing.
