Bob Goodlatte suspicious of US 9/11 trial
STAUNTON – Sixth District Rep. Bob Goodlatte has joined Virginia U.S. Sen. Jim Webb in criticizing the Obama administration’s decision to try 9/11 terrorists in U.S. courts.
“They should be put before a military tribunal not in our civil criminal courts in the United States,’’ said Goodlatte, R-Va., following Saturday’s Veterans Day Parade in Staunton.
Goodlatte said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other accomplices in the 9/11 attacks in New York are “terrorists who are engaging in a militaristic type behavior.”
