Moran: Brother v. Brother?
By JR Hoeft | Thursday, May 14th, 2009 | PoliticsIt looks like Virginia has a little sibling rivalry going on over detainees.
The Washington Times writes:
“Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brian Moran declared Wednesday that he won’t decide whether to oppose detainees coming to his state until he sees what President Obama has to say, refusing to take a stand on an issue that his elder brother, Rep. James P. Moran, put into play last weekend.
“Mr. Moran’s gubernatorial competitors have sought to capitalize on an op-ed by James Moran, who wrote that residents of his Alexandria district should be willing to see some of the terrorism suspects detained in a local facility if that proves necessary.”
So, is this what we can expect from a Gov. Moran…wait to see what the president has to say before making a decision that affects our commonwealth?
