Sen Graham looks for middle ground on cybersecurity

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed that he is working to chart a middle path on cybersecurity legislation. Sen Graham is working with Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) to develop a compromise proposal on the issue. But he emphasized that the senators have yet to finalize any legislation.

The move puts Sen Graham in the middle of a debate between two of his closest friends in the Senate: Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT). The three lawmakers, sometimes called the "Three Amigos," usually see eye-to-eye on national security issues. But Sen McCain is the leading opponent of Lieberman's cybersecurity bill, which Lieberman has said is his top legislative priority before he retires at the end of the year.
