WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 -- Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Nebraska, issued the following column:
Several years ago, a colleague hosted a member of Iran's legislature (the Majiis) in his office in Washington. I was invited, so I went. The Iranian official was cordial, guarded, and politely gave the party line. Our system afforded him the opportunity to travel, meet, and speak. Perhaps he is still part of the government back home shouting: "Death to America! Death to America!"
