it is my understanding that Sen. Lindsey Graham, a former judge advocate, is on record accusing the Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Speaker J. Dennis Hastert of shifting the focus of investigations from why these illegal prisons exist to how information of them was leaked to the public. Why would he call them illegal if they weren't? Of course that could also explain why 3 days after the story broke that graham submitted an amendment to remove the detention of unlawful combatants from all jurisdiction of the courts.

again, i had asked if these 'black sites' were legal. I'm assuming they wouldn't be but i'm asking for clarification.
