I haven\’t been much of a fan of Senator Graham for, well ever, as near as I can remember.  However, he summoned intelligence, foresight and outright cleverness in completely destroying Attorney General Holder in committee.  There really is no other word for it.

Holder\’s lack of intelligence and/or preparation are laid bare for all to see in this exchange.  And quite simply it is adequately demonstrated that as much as Holder likes to claim otherwise, there was little to no research done before decided that KSM would be tried in federal court instead of military court.  Having demonstrated that the only explanation for this reversal is that this was purely a political ploy….but one that may have dangerous implications for our national security, both none and in the future.

In the meantime we get to watch and snicker at Holder.  Although to be quite honest I almost feel a little bad for him about halfway through.  Graham knows he\’s got him and just keeps piling on.

I think he might be trying to pull off the \”thoughtfully contemplative\” defense.  You know it, or at least you\’ve seen it, when you or someone else is sideswipped with a question you weren\’t expecting and you pretend to be deep in thought to stall for time in hopes of a miracle.  It\’s also a ploy that Obama frequently uses in speeches to give him a intellectual aura.  Obama pulls it off, Holder just looks dumb.
