Thanks for the slideshow, Elise. Wow, Jim Webb is going to the garrison state of Myanmar. I don't think that he will be able to talk them out of a desire for nukes. Denny Kucinich is going where? Well, he's not saying for security reasons. What's he going  to try and do, exchange himself for a prisoner at Guantanamo?
