Sen. Jim Webb appeared this morning on “This Week” and I have just one quick thought on his appearance.
He is in favor of keeping the detainees in Guantanamo, not moving them to Virginia, and trying them there as well. His very correct reasons are that the crimes the detainees are accused of committing did not occur on U.S. soil and that we have spent millions of dollars building a facility to house them, where there is adequate security.
Good job to Sen. Webb for representing Virgina’s interests.
Of course, I was mildly amused by Webb’s thoughts on interrogation. He said that as a Marine in Vietnam, he interrogated hundreds of detainees and that “torture doesn’t work.”
So, how would he know?
