Soldiers from Massachusetts and Hawaii who work at the U.S. military detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, gave visiting home-state senators a piece of their mind last week.

Sens. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, and Daniel K. Akaka, Hawaii Democrat, met with several soldiers during a visit led by Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. John W. Warner, Virginia Republican.

I wonder why it is the ilk of Tequilla Ted, Madame Clinton, Bile Clinton, and Howlin Howie have great memories of every detail of a Republican's life but don't have a clue what happened in their own lives? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

&quot;They got stiff reactions from those home-state soldiers,&quot; one official told us. &quot;The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag.&quot;

I'd like this article better if some actual quotes from the soldiers were included. Just way too much innuendo to suit me.
