John McCain: "I think that Senator Durbin owes not only the Senate an apology... Dick Durbin should be required to read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. And I think that he would have a better understanding that there's no comparison whatsoever.
It does a great disservice to the majority of American men and women who are serving in Guantánamo, who are doing the job that they are told to do, and who are doing it in a humane fashion.
To tar American service men and women with a brush that applies to the gulag or to the killing fields is a great disservice to the men and women in the military, who are serving honorably down there."
Tim Russert: "Should he formally apologize?"
John McCain: "Well, I don't know whether formal, but he should certainly apologize."
Russert: "Will the Senate take any action against him?"
McCain: "I predict to you that by the time this program is shown next Sunday, that Mr. Durbin will have apologized."
