From Newsmax: "During his inspection tour of Guantanamo Bay this week, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy got an earful from U.S. troops running the facility, who blasted Kennedy for his anti-war statements and similar comments by other Democrats.
Soldiers from Kennedy's home state gave him 'a piece of their mind,' Pentagon officials told the Washington Times Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough.
One official said that Kennedy 'got a stiff reaction from those home-state soldiers. The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag.'
Hawaii Democrat Daniel Akaka, who visited Gitmo along with Kennedy, reportedly got a similar reaction. "
