Senator Toomey Statement On President Obama's Guantanamo Executive
Statement
Issues: National Security
Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement today regarding President Obama's executive order regarding Guantanamo Bay, Cuba:
"I am pleased President Obama has decided to resume trying detainees in military commissions at Guantanamo. I now look forward to hearing the president announce that murderous enemy combatants, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will go before military commissions instead of American civilian courts. Pennsylvanians do not want terrorists such as Mohammed being tried in their communities, and our citizens must be kept safe from the security threats that would arise from such high-profile trials," Sen. Toomey said.
