The Hill [ http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2009/05/13/graham-bush-admin-saw-law-as-unaffordable-nicety/ ] flags this interesting line from Senator Lindsey Graham about the way the Bush administration viewed the rule of law. During a hearing on the interrogation of detainees, Graham said that the Bush administration did not commit any crimes, but that they "saw the law as a nicety we could not afford."
Graham also questioned the validity of the hearing itself, speculating that it was a political stunt.
