Lindsey Graham shows his true colors

In debating an Arlen Specter amendment to the Senate’s version of the “Torture Ultra-Light is OK” bill, South Carolina’s Sen. Graham showed he clearly is not an enlightened, David Broder-type Senator.

Graham castigated Specter’s amendment to offer habeus corpus protection to terror suspects, saying, “It impedes the war effort, and it is irresponsible.”

No, Sen. Graham. You’re the irresponsible one. As pointed out by Carl Levin:

“The habeas corpus language in this bill is as legally abusive of rights guaranteed in the Constitution as the actions at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and secret prisons that were physically abusive of detainees.”
