Here is a link to the article. Basically before lawmakers arrived in Bagdad, soldiers had obtained (yet it is not known obtained from where) BIOs on all the visiting members, including their stance on the war.

Don't our troops and the Iraqis deserve to know who is visiting them AND how they voted on legislation concerning them? My point is, if a 'majority' of our troops feel this is a lost cause, wouldn't they be singing the praises of any official who voted to bring them home? And wouldn't Iraqis who WANT to end our 'occupation' be thrilled with this info? Why is this upsetting?

If they were proud of their votes and confident in their anti-war stance, the dems themselves would've released their own bios. They know the troops and the Iraquis believe in their mission. Why else would they be fearful?

They make this claim justly if they are in the Crimson Tide party, which has drowned out all decency in government, and has also drowned it's own existence. Have they not heard the saying "come out of her my people, that you may not be partakers of her sin"? Was it not Nagle who said just last week that "they will forgive us for our sins, but not our hypocrisy"? It seems to me that he was right.
