Anyone got a transcript of the recent hearings? I remember Lantos actually led with bona fide ad hominem instead of criticising the meat of Petraeus's report. I would YouTube it but I can read much quicker than Lantos can speak.

Did he win two Distinguished Service Crosses? A quick wiki shows that that is the second-highest medal after the Medal of Honor and awarded for extraordinary heroism in the face of the enemy. His career timeline shows first combat in 2003 so he must have been pretty old to be in the field.

Not to mention a pretty positive assessment of the man himself, unusual for a British newspaper considering he is obviously of the evil neo-con NWO.
