Durbin expresses regret if Nazi remark was 'misunderstood'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, said Friday that he regretted any misunderstandings caused by his comments earlier this week comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis.
The White House, Senate Republicans and others had called for an apology after Durbin's comments Tuesday.
Durbin made the comparison after reading an FBI agent's report describing detainees at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as being chained to the floor without food or water in extreme temperatures.
