Mark Warner says “no” to Gitmo detainees?
By JR Hoeft | Friday, May 15th, 2009 | PolicyWSJ’s Kimberley Strassel writes that Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) isn’t too keen on detainees from Guantanamo Bay being moved into Virginia, as proposed by Pres. Barack Obama:
Not Quantico, piped up Virginia’s Mark Warner. After all, it “is in a very populated area in the greater capital region.”
Members of Virginia’s congressional delegation have proposed legislation preventing the move and have been requesting more information from Attorney General Eric Holder for more than two months.
