The Hill has the article GOP: Send Benghazi suspect to Gitmo.
Now that we seem to have captured a suspect in the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, we have insane reactions from Republicans. I’ll give you the most temperate comment I have heard from a certain gang of clowns in our Congress. This is Lindsey Graham being quoted.
Graham urged that the military be allowed to interrogate him before he was read Miranda rights.
“We should have some quality time with this guy, weeks and months,” said Graham. “Don’t torture him, but have some quality time with him.”
What are we to make of calls to send him to the torture chamber, but just don’t torture him. Why is Lindsey Graham so afraid of what could happen in the regular “Justice” system?
How far do we have to travel down this road before the citizens of this country can rise up and make their voices heard that such talk by a politician will just not be tolerated come election time?
Some people might respond to my blog post that nobody suspected of doing what this detainee is suspected of doing should be protected by the once cherished principles of our law. These people will be giving sad testimony to how far we have already traveled down the road to utter depravity.
If we don’t start making it perfectly clear that such talk is not acceptable in this country, it might be too late when we finally do wake up to the danger.
