I’m a little confused by Lindsey Graham’s statement.
While I agree with the quote on its face, I find that, coming from him, it’s a little deceptive. Consider his and Senator Kyl’s recent failed attempt to mislead the Supreme Court in a amicus brief in the Hamdan case where they argued that the Court had no jurisdiction to hear the case. Their brief relied heavily on a piece of "legislative history" that was in fact a bogus colloquy that never occurred on the record. John Dean has more here. As a result, I have to view any position on the issue of detainee treatment with some degree of skepticism as to its sincerity.
