  • Passion and pain on Capitol Hill
    Feb 18, 2010  - It is hard to believe that it has been an entire year since Jason Chaffetz and I undertook a project with CNN to chronicle, in video and in prose, our first year.

  • No good reason to be in Afghanistan
    Dec 17, 2009  - I recently attended the White House Christmas tree lighting and congressional holiday party. Christmas is traditionally a time of peace and love, quite a juxtaposition for a nation fighting three wars, one in Iraq, one in Afghanistan, and a global war on terror. We went into Afghanistan eight yea... More
