Some of the best known member of Republican party are disagreeing with President Bush on the creation of military tribunals for terror suspects. The main issue is what's permissible in trial and interrogation. The interesting thing is that Democrat are totally quiet on this issue. These are some of the Republicans opposing President Bush, John McCain of Arizona, John W. Warner of Virginia, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Colin L. Powell. This is very important considering the fact that elections are just months away. This is huge contrast to Republican's approach in past few elections, when they looked in total harmony, and was one of the reason why they were so successful in recent past.
