Lindsey Graham actually said...

If we keep criminalizing the war--when we capture these guys, if we don't hold them for a period of time to gather intelligence, and put them right into the criminal justice system, I believe we're missing great opportunities to find out what the enemy's up to.

Context

Graham emphasizes the need for intelligence gathering over immediate trials.
