A CLASSIC ALLY OF THE UR...:

Lindsey Graham frustrated with Guantanamo Bay stalls (JOSH GERSTEIN | 10/29/09, Politico)

When it comes to the thorny issue of Guantanamo, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is the closest thing President Barack Obama has to an ally on the Republican side of the aisle.

But with the White House’s drive for Congressional approval to close the prison stalled for nearly six months now, Graham is sounding increasingly restless and is even opening a battle with the administration that could be politically damaging to Democrats.

...one whose "help" would damage the cause.
