A week late, Dick Durbin has finally apologized for linking U.S. treatment of terrorism suspects with the genocidal regimes of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Pol Pot’s killing fields. “Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line,” the Illinois Democrat said. “To them I extend my heartfelt apologies.” May believe? This veteran political hack still doesn’t get it. He didn’t just offend all decent people with his hyper-partisan rhetoric. Durbin gave aid and comfort to America’s enemies, and his words will live on in the Muslim world. Senator Durbin, don’t hold your breath waiting for Al Jazeera to broadcast your apology.
