Moonbats Say the Darnedest Things

According to a Scripps Howard News Service poll:

51% of people believe it is very likely or somewhat likely that government officials were "directly responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy."

47% believe it is very likely or somewhat likely that "The U.S. Air Force is withholding proof of the existence of intelligent life from other planets."

33% believe it is likely the Navy shot down TWA Flight 800 either intentionally or accidentally.

Further, according to an independent Iraqi research group poll:

20% of Iraqis advocated clemency for Saddam Hussein - to "let bygones be bygones."

So what does it say for the credibility of the Gitmo torture camp argument that, according to a Rasmussen poll (hat tip: Power Line):

20% of Americans believe prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have been treated unfairly.

Judging by some of the above, opinions shared by as few as 1 in 5 poll respondents tend to belong to seriously fringy thinkers.  And yet, what percentage of Democratic Senators have made substantively equivalent claims about Guantanamo Bay?

Numbering 44 in total, if we give them the 3% margin of error, 11 or more carpers would make the Senate minority disproportionately disparaging of our servicemen and women (and that's assuming the only ones who hold this opinion are ones that have spoken out publicly or voted on the topic).

Let's see...

Dick Durbin:  Probably safe to say "Nazi camps" was suggestive of unfair treatment
Patrick J. Leahy:  Claimed the situation in Gitmo ”is an international embarrassment to our nation and to our ideals, and it remains a festering threat to our security."
Edward M. Kennedy: "We now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management.”
Joe Biden: Claimed on ABC's "This Week" that the prison was doing more harm than good and maintains it is "the greatest propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world," and should be shut down.
Herb Kohl: "Guantanamo does not represent the America we know. Instead, it stands in stark contrast to the values our nation symbolizes."
Robert Byrd and around 20 Democratic colleagues: Supported an unsuccessful proposal to yank funding for the prison (presumably not because they were pleased with it).

So off-hand, with at least 6 high-profile grousers, plus a couple dozen tag-alongs voting their displeasure, my spitball guess would be that a solid majority of Democratic Senators would, if polled, affiliate with the uncommon opinion that the American military mistreats Gitmo detainees.

Notable public statements missing from the above list are welcome...
