Graham to Obama: scrap New York terror trial, I'll stand with you
The Christian Science Monitor ^ | 2010-03-07

Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday outlined his plan to help President Obama close Guantánamo if the administration agrees to abandon a civilian New York terror trial for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in favor of a military tribunal.

BY MARK SAPPENFIELD

On Sunday, two moderate senators defended President Obama’s apparent willingness to reconsider his administration’s decision to use a civilian New York terror trial for the admitted mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

The first, Senator Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina, is seen as the architect behind the Obama administration’s potential change in plans. He has promised to help Obama close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility if Obama gives up his plans of trying Mohammed and other sensitive terror suspects in a civilian court.

“We need a legal system that gives due process to detainees while recognizing” that there are sensitivities to national security in such a case, said Senator Graham, a former military lawyer, on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

With ‘Republicans’ like the pansy Graham and the ‘hoarse whisperer’ McCain the party doesn’t have a chance of warding off a true revolution!

2014. That’s when he’s up for re-election. SC does not have provisions for recall.

Before you rag too hard on South Carolina, remember who their other Senator is—Jim Demint. Also, I was there when Graham ran and won in 2002 and he ran as a conservative, with a conservative record (remember, he was one of the House managers for the Clinton impeachment). He didn’t get booted in 2008 because no big-name conservative ran against him in the primary. There’s a very good chance that he’s dead meat in ‘14.

If there were any doubts over supporting J. D. Hayworth, this should dispel all of them. We’re stuck with ‘Lil Ms. Lindsey until 2014 and need to put the fear of God into him. The best way to do that is defeat McLame in the primary and elect J. D.

Grahm should keep his nose out of the Kenyans butt.

Let the Kenyan president try to have the trial in NYC.

Every NYC politician is against it. We won the Battle on this already, and now Grahm wants to negotiate it into a loss.

He is a stupid and dangerous man.

I think he'll do or say anything to get attention.

He really needs to go away.

We argue constantly with Republican fundraisers about this.

As long as the RNC supports dupes and traitors like this little man, they won't get a penny of our money.

You'd think they'd catch on.

Lindsey is an idiot. Obozo was already backing out of the plan to try KSM in the US anyway.

I’m guessing he wants to take over the McCain slot of media favorite who stabs conservatives in the back and sells out their positions to get on the talk shows.

Can’t we please vote this guy out of office? He would make sense if he were from a liberal state, but what a waste of South Carolina!

“If McCain defeats J.D. in August, he will likely win re-election, and we conservatarians will have to face 2+ years of his wrath, with Graham and Obama by his side.”

If McC wins, I suspect he will switch parties.
