Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham are saying the same things. (Are they part of the unpatriotic hate America crowd?).

John McCain further states that we need to support the Geneva Convention Code on handling POWs. He said last night that his treatment by the North Vietnamese would have been much worse were it not for the Geneva Convention Code.

He also said that it does not matter what atrocities other people commit, but how we treat our prisoners separates us from our enemies - and defines who we are (sounds like you wrote his speech).

McCain also thought we should blow up Abu Ghraib as a symbol to exorciate ourselves from this shame.
