Graham says no to torture immunity
As many of you know, I have been keeping a close watch on the negotiations on the "torture amendment." The reason I'm so interested, better described here, is that in the negotiations, the Cheney/Whitehouse side are trying to negotiate, in effect, immunity for themselves for previously committed acts, and the McCain/Graham side aren't budging. Again, I'm not exaggerating, please look here for the details.
So, anyway, here's today's update with quotes from today's talk shows. Start with Frist scaremongering. (on Foxnews unsurprisingly.)

Then, McCain ally, Lindsey Graham, who I'm slowly growing to like, on Meet The Press:
Did Lindsey Graham just call Cheney the "vice president of torture" on Meet the Press? Snap. I'll bet that Republican "Holiday party" is gonna be a little awkward.
(Later) This little gem from the Guardian.

Nice Post. Look at what this administration has reduced us to. We are congratulating a person that is against use of terror. It is a shame that this is even an issue.
Thanks for the link on your blogroll! I will add you to mine.

I saw Lindsey Graham today as well. I generally like hime as a person who often speaks his mind, even if it is contray to those of his more polarised GOP bretheren.
