The party that is just chock full of Hawks who got deferments from serving in the Vietnam War never ceases to set new records for cowardice:
Senate Republicans plan to push a provision aimed at blocking the Obama administration from trying in U.S. civilian courts any terrorists who plotted the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
An amendment by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) would “prohibit the use of funds for the prosecution in Article III courts of the United States of individuals involved in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.” Graham and others want the 9/11 suspects tried instead in a military commission at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, raising a variety of concerns that civilian courts are ill-equipped for such high-stakes trials involving potential national security secrets.
The GOP pretends to be a friend of the military, but they’re such pantywaists that a real soldier would be embarrassed to be associated with them.
