JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he won’t denounce a Southern heritage group’s proposal for a state-issued license plate to honor Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Barbour is a potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate. He said he doesn’t think Mississippi legislators will approve the Forrest license plate proposed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
