Tiahrt criticized Moran on terrorism issues in a television ad his campaign began broadcasting statewide Tuesday, including in Topeka during the debate. "He has a weak record on national security, and I think that's why he supports constitutional rights for terrorists," Tiahrt said.
Tiahrt's campaign cited two votes by Moran in 2006 against legislation to continue allowing military tribunals to try suspected terrorists, legislation Tiahrt supported.
Moran said after the debate that he'd viewed the legislation as flawed and unconstitutional. "Let me categorically say I do not support constitutional rights for terrorists," Moran said.

Tiahrt has characterized Moran as a waffling conservative, while Moran has framed Tiahrt as a politician tainted by Washington gamesmanship.
