Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., promoted this week an up-or-down vote in the House Appropriations Committee to deny terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay any federal or state support.

He described the issue as especially timely and relevant due to the Chinese Uighar jihadists that the Obama Administration plans to release into the Virginia suburbs.

Tiahrt is introducing a bill called the “No Welfare for Terrorists Act of 2009â€
