GOP leader criticizes handling of Somali suspect

Townhall
The Senate Republican leader on Wednesday accused the Obama administration of undermining U.S. national security by bringing a Somali man facing terrorism charges to New York for trial.
In a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Mitch McConnell assailed the administration’s decision, arguing that the Somali citizen _ Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame _ belongs at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he could be tried by a military tribunal.
“The administration has purposefully imported a terrorist into the U.S. and is providing him all the rights of U.S. citizens in court,” McConnell said. “This ideological rigidity being displayed by the administration is harming the national security of the United States of America.”
