For much of the early part of the year, Sen. Lindsey Graham and the White House were locked in heated negotiations over legislation that could close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, move some of the war-on-terror prisoners there to the U.S. mainland and create a system to detain Al Qaeda members captured later.
The talks were so intense that they spurred suspicion on both the right and the left and contributed to the South Carolina Republicans status as White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuels most frequent visitor among Republican lawmakers.
I thought we were close to getting a deal, Graham told POLITICO last week. I had some meetings where I walked out of the White House and said, This is great. These were better meetings than I ever had with the Bush administration.
But sometime around May, according to Graham, the line of communication with the White House shut down.
It went completely dead, Graham said. Like it got hit by a Predator drone.
The breakdown, however, could leave the Obama administration with even less of a chance to resolve key issues, particularly if Republicans make substantial gains or retake either chamber or both chambers of Congress. Graham is viewed as a moderate willing to negotiate, but the current slate of GOP candidates, influenced by the tea party, have tacked hard right and probably would be less willing to open a dialogue with the White House.
