  Sen. Salazar Statement on the President’s Announcement Regarding Detainees in CIA Facilities

Washington, D.C. – “All Americans wish to see the terrorists who have worked to do us harm brought to justice. The President’s announcement that he intends to move detainees from CIA facilities abroad into the military justice system is a step in the right direction. Ours is a Nation of laws, and I look forward to working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure that the legal framework for prosecuting these detainees is tough, effective, and in keeping with the honorable and just traditions of our great country.”
