I heard that members of our Congress were visiting Iraq, and I wondered: what could they possibly "learn" from such a visit? Surely, they would be in a safe zone, surrounded by security, completely isolated from any kind of conflict. So the only information they receive would be provided via disconnected anecdotes, official briefings in conference rooms, or otherwise unverifiable sources. They could have had the same information simply e-mailed to them.
Are we supposed to believe that our congressmen are donning flak jackets and going out on patrol, to get a taste of the action on the ground?
