    I have to applaud Sen. Graham. Many of us don't see these 'characters' as everyday criminals. They are, in fact, prisoners of war and leave no doubt, they will be dealt with strongly. Try to imagine capturing enemies in battle and having to read them thier 'rights' (or they would have to be set free). There is a WAR going on......... HELLO!!

    Graham says, ""I've been warning the administration not to criminalize the war on terror," Graham said. "These guys should be tried in military court, where we can protect classified evidence better. These people aren't robbing liquor stores. They're part of terrorist organizations that are waging war against the United States."

    Open trials in federal courts would become media circuses, Graham said.

    "It would be a nightmare," he said. "It would become a zoo, and it would change the theory of how we detain these people."

    Such trials, Graham said, would make surrounding communities terrorist targets."

    Civilian trials would be liberal madness at its best.
