3 Bold Republicans prepare to fold

And in the NY Times article it appears the good ol' boy Lindsey Graham is the cheapest suit in the bunch.
The Bush administration and three prominent Republican senators opposing its effort to codify broad standards for terror-detainee treatment gave signs of seeking compromise today, as both sides face intense political pressures over their positions.

“I think we can get there from here,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of the three senators, all with deep military backgrounds, whose resistance has stymied the Bush administration. Seeming to weigh his words, Mr. Graham added: “I’m willing to compromise. I hope common sense will prevail.”
On the other hand the position of Our Dear Embattled Leader is clear.
President Bush has been adamant on the matter, and as recently as Friday he showed no appetite for compromise.
So the give and take on this issue is all give by the Three Soon to Be Stooges and all take by ODEL. Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming like a freight train on a flat track.

Just in case you don't remember what the fight is all about, the Washington Post has another editorial today that explains in detail what the horrible homunculus, Our Dear Embattled Leader, wants to do.
