To the Editor:

It was with dismay and horror that I viewed the photo of a cowering Iraqi prisoner menaced by vicious military guard dogs at Abu Ghraib prison (front page, May 10).

As an Austrian Jew imprisoned in Dachau and Buchenwald in 1938 and 1939, I was an eyewitness to similar inhumane behavior by sadistic Nazi SS guards.

1. Durbin's the MAN!

We now have a VICTIM of the Nazis who can testify on the side of the truth!

:kick:

Shutdown GITMO!

2. that man should not have to witness this once in his life,

let alone twice

[longship]

3. Clip it out and mail it to Dick Durbin.

Then send copies also to Sens. McConnell and Warner along with the words, "At long last, have you no shame."

[AX10]

4. What did Warner say?

[longship]

7. He took the Republican stand.

But was less strident than McConnell.

Durbin had some tough moments there. McConnell and Warner were attempting to take him to the woodshed, mostly McConnell.

[AX10]

9. That settles it. Warner is no moderate but a puppet of...

the right wing.

:argh:

[Beetwasher]

5. Indeed

n/t

[LightningFlash]

6. Senator Durbin is just reporting what everyone else here....

Wasn't afraid to do and report in the press on what's really happening.

They survived the Third Reich and were, *until recently,* STAUNCHLY pro-American...

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. I am a daughter of the holocaust

I am pro american... not pro bush... we need to fight them at every step of the way... and they need to get their kids on board
