“He wanted England never to have anything to be ashamed of.”
Looks like our Great American Patriots in the Senate are at it again. The Anchoress tells us what our Brave Warriors for America are doing now.
You know, I hate to sound curmudgeonly, I really do, but didn’t we just see a report, not two weeks ago, pretty much clearing the air re the “Gitmo abuses?” Didn’t some Democrat lawmakers go over there, themselves, and come back saying,”hey…things looked pretty dang good, after all?”
And yet, here are the Dems calling for an independent panel “to review the treatment of foreign inmates at Guantanamo Bay and other US-run overseas detention facilities.”
She then goes on to point out a story about an Englishman who raised money to defend a Nazi war criminal after the war.
In England, after the war, (Lord de l’Isle and Dudley) organized a legal defense fund for German Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, who was being tried as a war criminal. (…)When reporters asked Lord de l’Isle and Dudley to explain why he had launched his puzzling philanthropy, he replied, “Had I met General von Manstein during the war, I would have shot him on sight…I am not concerned with whether von Manstein is guilty or not,” milord continued. “I simply want sufficient money to insure that he will be properly represented in his trial, by a British barrister…I want Britain’s reputation upheld.”
He wanted England never to have anything to be ashamed of.
I love that last line. “He wanted England never to have anything to be ashamed of.” How beautiful is that?
Is that what Carl Levin and Ted Kennedy are doing with their call for an Independent Commission? Is their call driven by love of America?
No. Not in a million years.
As The Anchoress said, “Lord de l’Isle and Dudley did what he did to spare his country embarrassment”. Do not doubt for a minute that the hearings these Senators want will feature wall-to-wall media coverage, tons of “gotcha” quotes, ruddy-faced Senators bloviating thunderously at men in uniforms, and a parade of lawyers for those helpless wretches we snatched from the arms of their mothers and dropped into the hellhole we call Guantanamo Bay. Do not doubt that we will never hear of the legal military tribunals taking place there, the lavish menu the detainees are offered, the Korans they are provided, the only government policy that demands better treatment for the Koran than for any other holy book, or the health care the detainees receive.
You will hear nothing but condemnation from a group of men who have nothing better to do with their time than to bring embarassment to the United States of America – the country that has made them rich, fat, and free and allows them an unparalleled ignorance about who the enemy is in this war we’re fighting.
