Durbin Apologizes for Guantanamo Remarks

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin makes an emotional apology on the Senate floor for remarks he made regarding mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay prison camp. The two-term Democrat caused an uproar last week when he said information in an FBI report about interrogation methods at Guantanamo reminded him of Nazis, Soviets and other infamous regimes.
