Northern Virgina's Rep. Moron
Washington Times Editorial:
Moran has been an anti war puke for much of the time since 9-11, while still pumping in earmarks into the defense budget for things not needed for the war effort. He is a disgraceful Democrat who deserves to be defeated.
It's not every day that a congressman asks for terrorists to be shipped to his hometown. So we were surprised to see Rep. Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia, pen a column entitled "From Guantanamo to Alexandria" in Saturday's Washington Post. He actually championed the idea of bringing terrorists like 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other al Qaeda detainees to historic Alexandria. What's next? Does he want the nuclear waste that Nevada won't take?Alexandria is an attractive town, but Moran would be wise to not remind people of some of its history. During the war of 1812 after the British had burned Washington and were on the way back to their ships, the leaders of Alexandria decided to row and out and surrender their town to looting. That was about as unintelligent a move as Moran's latest offer to bring in terrorist for trials.

While acknowledging that other solutions might be suitable, Mr. Moran wrote: "Taking the easy route and joining the chorus of those crying 'not in my backyard' is appealing. But that's not the Alexandria I know and have represented in Congress for nearly 20 years."
