have gone over to afghanistan to take a look. the congressman we are told is headed home. there are a lot of allegations and reports about where he was, what he tried to do, what level of success he may or may not have had, but david, it gets back to this thing that there are a number of americans who cannot believe that there were americans left behind, if there were allies by the thousands, maybe tens of thousands, we were told today that the majority of the people who helped as interpreters and others did not get out. i don't think that that, you note -- we should be sending people over there or folks should be taking their own initiative to go over there, being warned by the state department and others, it is absolutely not safe but you can understand the frustration. >> yes, i do. i will give congressman mullen the benefit of the doubt. i assume that there are really some people there that need to be rescued who he is in touch with and he thought somehow he could help. as someone who worked in iraq and works with congressional delegations, members of congress do have a right to come to a place like afghanistan in order
