According to this report on Politico.com, Senator Jim Webb (D-Va) has finally remembered his Scots Irish combative roots, and has spoken out against the Obama administration's decision to try 911 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (above photo) in New York City. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, signed by Webb, Blanche Lincoln (D-ARK), Independent Joe Lieberman, and Republicans Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Susan Collins, the six senators say in part:
“Your decision to prosecute enemy combatants captured on foreign battlefields like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is without precedent in our nation’s history. Given the risks and costs, it is far more logical, cost-effective, and strategically wise to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the military commissions.”
