It’s been a long time since the power trio of John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe Lieberman made music together. Since the election, the former Republican presidential nominee and his Senate colleagues have been mostly working on solo projects, with McCain and Graham teaming up to send the occasional joint letter to the White House.

Today, they got the band back together — to ask President Obama not to prosecute the Bush administration lawyers who wrote the “torture memos.”

It’s been a long road for Obama, from ruling out prosecutions to passing the buck to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. But to the McCain trio, Obama’s first position was the correct one.
