A spokesperson for the families of the 1998 embassy bombings says that their tragedy should not be subject to partisan exploitation.
"We certainly don't think that the discussion about which venue to use to bring these people to justice should become a political issue," said Bartley, who has spent years fighting for government compensation for families of victims of the 1998 embassy bombings along the lines of that received by 9/11 families.
"To make it a political issue is not at all the appropriate position for any of our lawmakers or others to take. That to us is really unacceptable."
I'll just say that I find it really shocking that the surviving families of the victims haven't been compensated yet. That seems like the kind of thing neither party would object to.
