Gary Ackerman: “Let our people go, and do it soon.”

Today the Middle East is a very different region than the one I first encountered as a new Member of Congress in 1983.

I have always found that Members of Congress don't get enough credit for being as thoughtful as most of us have been.

The public is sick and tired of it, as they should be.

To try to blame that on the administration is like me trying to blame President Bush for Pluto being thrown out of the list of planets.
