Montel Williams, who a month ago during testimony before a House committee blasted the Obama administration’s failure<\/a> to secure the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi and urged the president to “make the call”<\/a> on Sgt. Tahmooressi’s behalf, welcomed home the U.S. Marine who had been held in Mexico since March 31:<\/p>\n
