#1 I hope those congressmen brought a whole bunch of cameramen, photographers, conservative bloggers, etc., with them. Hell, invite Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and Glenn Beck to do a "Live from Honduras" show.

#2 Yesterday, Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) attempted to block the delegation's trip at the last minute, denying committee approval.

How many visits to Cuba by Congressional Donks?
What about that Dear Commandante letter from Speaker Jim Wright to Daniel Ortega?
How about those Congressmen who went to Saddam's Iraq prior to the second Gulf War?

One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

#3 Anonymoose:
Greta Van Susteren did an interview with Micheletti and he claimed Zelaya, in league with Chavez, was importing bombs. Several writers on her blog living in Honduras claimed Arabs were buying up the land, several planes had crashed with large shipments of cocaine from Venezuela, and they whole-heartedly wanted Zelaya out. I'm glad the senators are actually doing a necessary fact-finding mission, rather than jet-setting around the Mediterranean and Europe, vacationing on the taxpayers' tab.
