Lieberman again praises Obama - this time for reinstituting military tribunals

Anyone else think it was a great week for Neo-Cons/Cheney

Lieberman Praises President Obama's Decision on Military Commissions

WASHINGTON, DC � Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today issued the following statement in response to President Obama's decision on military commissions:

�I am very pleased that the President has decided that the military commissions are the proper forum to try prisoners captured on the battlefield in the war against those who attacked America. By taking this action, President Obama has reinforced that we are at war, and that the laws of war should apply to these prisoners.�
