...the GOP Outrage Machine forced Dick Durbin to apologize for comparing U.S. treatment of prisoners to the Nazis and Soviets in their gulags?

Funny how the facts bore him out.

Since the GOP is in full-hard-on-embrace of this kind torture, I'm surprised that they're not issuing an apology to Senator Durbin. After all, the rhetoric of condemnation he used has been re-purposed into full-throated praise.
