From Missourinet:

Missouri’s two U.S. Senators have differing views about the Obama administration's decision to have some of the Guantanamo detainees tried for terrorism in the U.S.

Senator Kit Bond, a Republican, believes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others detained at Gitmo are not run of the mill criminals and should not be brought to the U.S. mainland for trial.

“These are illegal combatants in a war on terror that’s been called on us,” said Bond in his weekly telephone conference call with Missouri radio reporters. “They don’t deserve the constitutional protections that we afford American citizens or people who are lawfully in this country.”

Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill doesn’t care for the idea of bringing the terror suspects to the U.S., but feels President Barack Obama’s authority to do so should not be questioned.

“I’m not sure I would have made that decision,” said McCaskill to Missouri reporters in her weekly radio conference call. “But I do think that it is inappropriate for that decision to be taken away from the Commander in Chief.”
