If you understand why Senators McCain, Warner and Graham along with Colin Powell raised an issue that caused a disunion in the Republican ranks this close to the elections...would you please enlighten me? The Dems have been licking their chops hoping this issue would blow out of proportion causing a major rift in Republican ranks. Now it appears to have become a non-issue with the compromise that basically gives the President what he needed to deal with the captured terrorists. One exception is a requirement to give the defendants access to information that is used against them.
One good thing that did come of this from my viewpoint...I think that Senator McCain has diminished his support from the Republican core base. He is a moderate that has a lean to the left. Have you ever heard of a great moderate?
