Reforming Detainee Trials Not A Sign Of Weakness, Says Sen. Graham
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) argues that the U.S. is lacking a hybrid military and civilian process that would legitimize the trial of detainees. Sen. Graham also says that it is important that detainees are not isolated from the judicial system, but face review periodically to determine their status as to whether they will be released, tried or detained. He says that the effort to reform how detainees are tried is not soft on terror, but applies American values to the ongoing war. (0:45)
