By Matt for the TIB Network:
Previously on WMD, I wrote that Rep. Rob Portman would be going to Iraq to check up on the Matt Maupin situation. Here is the
Cincinnati Enquirer telling the rest of Cincinnati what WMD readers knew days ago:
Rep. Rob Portman will travel to Iraq this weekend, possibly visiting Baghdad and Fallujah.
Spokesman Kyle Downey said many details of the trip are secret for security reasons. But the Terrace Park Republican leaves Friday and returns Monday.
"I look forward to meeting with the troops and expressing my personal gratitude for their hard work and many successes," Portman said in a statement. "I will also be assessing the situation on the ground after the historic Iraqi elections and making sure the troops have what they need to continue to fight the war on terror."
...
He expects to meet with military officials to talk about the case of missing Army Spc. Matt Maupin of Union Township. The Glen Este High School graduate was captured in Iraq on April 9, 2004.
Best of luck, Congressman! And our prayers for Matt Maupin and his family.
Islamofascism Delenda Est!
