Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who led an effort last week to prevent the Obama Administration from doing just what it did today in directing prosecution of the alleged Sept. 11 plotters into federal court, says he's keeping mum about that decision for now at the request of the White House.
"I have been asked by the White House to withhold comment about todays Guantanamo decision until I can meet face-to-face with the President after he returns from Asia," Graham said in a statement released by his office. "As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request. I look forward to discussing this issue further.
Graham's silence on the issue today contrasts with the stance taken by many of his Republican colleagues, who wasted no time in blasting the administration. He also passed up the opportunity to dust off some of the pointed warnings he offered on the subject just eight days ago, when his amendment to ban civilian trials of the 9/11 plotters was voted down by the Senate on a 54-45 vote.

What a POS
Time for Graham to go
Gawd he is a disgusting little sellout puke. How do people get rid of this poofter?
It’s a good thing that he is so loyal to the White House. At least that way we know who to vote out!
Why appoint a horse to the Senate when elected ones are so willing to be bridled?
McCain’s defeat next year will neuter Graham, who can then be defeated himself in 2014.
We are better off with a rat holding this seat then pro choice odumbo loving Graham
We are better off with a rat holding this seat then pro choice odumbo loving Graham
We must all bow before Obama and the Terrorists. Then, before me, too.
Buttlicking little sychophant weasel!
#@&%*$!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
hey Benedict Arnold nnville Chamberlain Graham,
King George the 3rd was Commander -in-chief of the English Military...
But your ancestors didnt “honor (any of) his requests” and they sure learnt that “discussing the issues” with him was a waste of time...
Is your blood that thin ???
Has the patriotism been bred out of you ???
Lindsey can you spell “appeasement” ???
Geez the same 54 people on the list. Wonder what mystery the amendment contained that caused 54 of our elected representatives to be unable to vote for it.
I’m thinking that Graham is going to get himself unelected!
Nah, it won’t nueter Linseed. He is even worse than Juan McAmnesty.
He is now chasing along behind Obozo, just like the little gay girl he is.
Graham is a man of no moral fortitude with the spine of a jellyfish. His soft morality belies a deeper squishiness.
Translated into plain English; “I don’t really care about what’s best for the country. I need to see what’s in it for me before I comment further.”
