May 6, 2009 Senators McCain & Graham on what to do with GitmoPosted: 09:44 AM ET
By U.S. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham/Wall Street Journal When President Barack Obama declassified and released legal memoranda from the Department of Justice, he opened the door to a drawn-out battle over the Bush administration's use of coercive interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists.
