A huge amount of data on Iraq, found via Dick Lugar’s website.

So I was at Dick Lugar’s website because I wanted to find out what his position on the military tribunals is. It’s interesting that Lugar has been working with Obama on both energy independence and the reduction of unsecured weapons in former Soviet countries. Indiana’s an odd state in that we are strongly Republican, yet we have a tradition of moderate senators. Also a surprisingly internationally focused group of Congressmen. Lugar is chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, Bayh is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on International Trade and Finance, and Lee Hamilton, the former Rep., was chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, in addition to being the vice-chair on the 9/11 commission. Also Dan Burton is a senior member of the House International Relations Committee, in which Burton currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, and as Vice-Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific.

And then of course there is Hostettler. It’s pretty interesting, however, that he was opposed to the opposed to the war.
