Senator: Remarks about Libya 'should be the final straw' for Clapper

Washington (CNN) - Testimony by the director of national intelligence has prompted a leading Senate Republican to call for his resignation even as other senators expressed support.

In a statement, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, criticized James Clapper's statement, given during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday, that Moammar Gadhafi's regime would "prevail" over the rebels in Libya.
