WASHINGTON—Today, responding to a question about Ali Mussa Daqduq, a Hezbollah commander linked to the kidnapping deaths of U.S. soldiers, White House spokesman Jay Carney, stated that the Administration is taking the case “seriously.”  Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Judiciary Committees, issued the following statement in response:“Daqduq is a terrorist responsible for killing five American soldiers.  If the Administration is truly serious about this case, they’ll try him for war crimes in a military tribunal, not increase the chances that he will end up sipping tea in Tehran.”
