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.

Does S.C. have any contenders to defeat this P.O.S? If so, they need to be archiving all this to use as ammo against him. It is time for a GOP enema all around.

Graham is one very confused individual. Whatever came of “checks-and-balances?” LOSER!

Mr. Graham.......you're allegiance is to the United States Constitution and the Republic FIRST. You are as treasonous as the POTUS and are not immune by your re-election. You are burned into many memories now. However this ends, you will be forever branded. (imo)

Obama is afraid to face the American people. A classic liberal cut and run to Japan for the anouncement from Holder.

Wasn’t it a big deal that Obama carry a blackberry? Hey Senator Graham, do you know how to use a cell phone? There is no excuse for your silence!

Graham and McCain are the face of the republican party according to the media....if not for those two, CBS, has no one else on to represent republicans. No wonder the GOP has no support.

OMG!! You weasly little lap dog!
Using 'honor' in the same sentence about our Appeaser In Chief is laughable.
Anyway, we don't care what you say now or later. Someone with no common sense is of no interest to us.

Good boy Lindsay.
Roll over.

I love your pictorials. Thank you. A picture is worth a thousand Teleprompter words.....
Do you have the series of "finger gestures" he made on the campaign? To Hillary twice in Oct '08 and McCain in Jacksonville, Nov '08. I read on FR Obama did the gesture again this past month....don't know the occasion.

Graham needs to brush up on his grammar. Graham is not the commander-in-chief.
