WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and John McCain (R-Arizona) today issued the following statement regarding the executive order put forth by President Obama calling for the closure of the prison at Guantanamo:
“We support President Obama’s decision to close the prison at Guantanamo, reaffirm America’s adherence to the Geneva Conventions, and begin a process that will, we hope, lead to the resolution of all cases of Guantanamo detainees,” said Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator John McCain. “The executive orders issued today constitute an important step in the right direction but leave several major issues unaddressed.”
“Numerous difficult issues remain,” Senator Graham and Senator McCain continued. “Present at Guantanamo are a number of detainees who have been cleared for release but have found no foreign country willing to accept them. Other detainees have been deemed too dangerous for release, but the sensitive nature of the evidence makes prosecution difficult. The military’s proper role in processing detainees held on the battlefield at Bagram, Afghanistan, and other military prisons around the world must be defended, but that is left unresolved. Also unresolved is the type of judicial process that would replace the military commissions. We believe the military commissions should have been allowed to continue their work. We look forward to working with the President and his administration on these issues, keeping in mind that the first priority of the U.S. government is to guarantee the security of the American people.”

Fools
I try to refrain from profanity on FR for concern of being zotted, but McCain and Grahamnasty can stick this up their ********* and ********** with the ************ and ****************** *********** ************* *************edited on 01/22/2009 for family friendly reading
The Siamese Stooges strike again. What is the matter with the voters of SC and AZ to keep voting for these two bozos?
Now can we hate him?????

Doc Holliday: And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?
Kate: You don’t even know him.
Doc Holliday: Yes, but there’s just something about him. ........ No. I’m sure of it, I hate him.
Good ole’ McDemoCrap, doing what comes so naturally...
McCain and Graham, need to be retired, and we’re just the ones to help with that.
These two little wussyboys should just change teams in name as well as in actions. The terrorists are having a big old time in their friggin caves after hearing all this capitulation.
I respectfully disagree, and will do everything I can do to hold McCain and Granamesty accountable should one of these radical islamists attack US vital interests.
It is long past time the Pub elites were in control of the party.
One more reason why I didn’t “cast a vote for Palin” like everyone wanted me to.
McQueeg and Grahamnesty are again flying their true colors!
I am guilty of such thinking. I presumed an individual who had firsthand experience with evil that wants to devour this nation might be better on the WOT. I was wrong.
This would have happened under McCain too, dont you think.
And I Have SCARS on my nose from voting for that Marxist B******!! .I have to join you. It would have been easier on me to just have STAYED HOME.
McLAME pushed me over the edge and I did it ... I’m now an INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE... how was I supposed to admit to being a GOP??
GOD HELP US
Let us know how that works out for you.
