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?
We understand why congressmen work to bring federal office buildings to their district or fight off noisome incineration plants. So we read Rep. Moran's column with amazement. It simply makes no sense.
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."

In light of these considerations, Alexandrians have a right to know what is motivating their congressman. Mr. Moran is a smart man. Would Alexandria get any additional federal subsidies? Would Northern Virginia get some other valuable concessions? Or is Mr. Moran merely playing to a Justice Department that is currently investigating the former PMA lobbying group that made him one of the top four recipients of its campaign-donation largesse in recent years?
Mr. Moran has made a career of playing it straight with his constituents, even when they didn't like what he had to say. So he should step forward now and tell us: What was he promised in exchange for compromising Virginia's security?

Jim Moran is vile, evil and a traitor and there is no doubt about it. For years he has been one of the top traitors on the left who have been undermining our troops and the war in every turn and providing aid and comfort to the enemy. I still remember when I watched on TV this piece of crap shouting at a brave US soldier during a town hall meeting and he wanted to silence the soldier and prevent him from speaking.
Thanks, jv. I don’t know much about him other than he’s wrapped up in this PMA investigation by the feds that both he and Murtha say isn’t about them. They both may find out soon it is about them and others!
I figured he’s not much worth anything if he wants to bring Gitmo terrorists to Alexandria.
The man is vile and a traitor. He is the worst of the worse.
Thank goodness for the Washington Times.
Jim Moron also told a gathering in Reston, VA that the only reason we were going to war in Iraq was because of the support of the Jewish community. He’s known for liking to hit people. His ex-wife filed for divorce after police came to their house after a “domestic dispute.” He also attacked an 8 year old black youth who was admiring his car, claiming the youth was trying to steal it.
Good lord! I lived in Alexandria for 22 year and still have dozens of friends there. It’s already tough enough for the people there because the U.S. Eastern District Court in Alexandria is where Moussaoui and other terrorists have been tried. Now Moran wants MORE of them???
Sounds like this turkey should be in the jail he wants to bring the terrorists to.
just great
Okay, I'm putting up a thousand windmills in Alexandria starting next week. Thanks for volunteering your district, Jim!
