A key U.S. senator said Monday he has high hopes for a positive resolution soon to the growing diplomatic crisis revolving around 19 American overseas aid workers facing charges as part of an Egyptian crackdown on nongovernmental organizations.
"Quite frankly, I'm very optimistic we're going to get this episode behind us," GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN. "It's my hope (this will happen) sooner rather than later."
Graham spoke from Cairo after meeting with top Egyptian military and political leaders. He's joined on the trip by Sens. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and John McCain of Arizona. McCain is chairman of the board of the International Republican Institute, one of the organizations affected by the Egyptian crackdown.

Why would all good conservatives let GM and all associated Americans die off if they can't make it on thier own but same doesn't apply to Israel? Just askin.
GOP if it were Democrats visiting Egypt with the same return message: "oh my gosh, they are TRAITORS to the American cause, they let AMERICANS rot in JAIL in a godforsaken, bloodthirsty country!"
Aren't you glad these bimbos aren't getting the White House next term?
hoping they get them release in time.
All of these people listed here are traitors to the American people.
Joe Lieberman is the worst of them all.
Please, Joe . . .say isn't true. . . . .you're not an israeli citizens as well as having an U.S. citizenship. Who are you most loyal to if you do have an israeli citizenship? Who would you betray for the other?
How is it that these men listed in this propaganda piece can be so brazen??
These men are traitors to the American people. They are true-black and evil zionists working for the new world order.
Everything Joe does is to advance the zionist cause.
Joe is the loudest mouth advocating and cheering on the Obama to wage war on the Iranians or anybody else tel-aviv tells Joe to say. Joe only serves tel-aviv.
Traitors all should be shot after a short trial.
God Bless America. May God cast all the devil zionists out of power. AMERICA WAKE UP!!!
go back to your cave the goat misses you
well i for one sincerely pray that this sen is right, and that these folks will come home to america.
but there is a lot of moves being made in the mid east and putin is in the game big time, i think that this is going to be a long drawn out affair. i would rather see them brought home and face the music later but that to has its down side but at least they are home with their love ones, we can not loose SIGHT of these folks. if these folks are detained for a long period of time it will send all the wrong signals to all the wrong world leaders.
