The Associated Press is reporting, via The Examiner:
The White House said Monday it was revising its proposal for dealing with terrorism suspects as indications grew that President Bush's plan was meeting increased resistance among Republicans in both chambers of Congress.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino said the administration was sending the new language in hopes of reaching an agreement. A revolt by GOP senators, who have written their own proposal giving terror detainees more rights than the administration wants, has embarrassed the White House at a time when Republicans want to use their security policies as a main platform in November's congressional elections.

This phrase: "has embarrassed the White House " really sticks in my craw... How can that be? Did the WH blush? Was there a comment; "That was embarrassing."?
As I understand it, this is part of the give and take of politics.
I hate partisan sniping...

What could be more embarrassing than Lindsey Graham?
