If Civilian Trials For Terrorists Are Stopped Thank Lindsay Graham

Lindsay Graham is again one of those Republican that gives some conservatives the hives. I think this was because of two points.

First he is an outspoken proponent of immigration reform. A advocate of immigration reform from one of the red states that had no problem getting reelected which makes people even more mad.

Second he was asking some tough questions on torture and the handling of terrorist at Gitmo.

People of good will can disagree with Graham and think him RINO squared. However what gets tiresome with the conservative attacks on him is there no mention of anything he does that these same naysayers like or advocate for.

One area is his relentless work on the terrorist trial issue. An issue because of his past experience and current experience as a military Judge he has some credibility on.

Contentions in this piece that notes how it appears the Obama White House is running away from their previous positions notes the crucial role that the Senator has had in all this. See Holder Under the Bus?
