The gaffe-prone Democratic congressman Jim Moran calls those opposed to federal trials for the 9/11 terrorists "un-American":

Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder's plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial.

"They see this as an opportunity to demagogue," he said. "They will seize on any opportunity to do that, and that means they'll even take a stand that's un-American."

"It's un-American to hold anyone indefinitely without trial," Moran added. "It's against our principles as a nation."

Doesn't Moran realize the alternative is a military trial--or that Obama is going to hold others without trial?
