	Tom Lantos, Warmonger- by Justin Raimondo
		With Lantos and the anti-Iran Democrats leading the charge on the political front, the Bush administration is moving on the military front.
		Lantos, that pious old fraud, inserted language in his bill that pays minimal lip service to the idea of resolving this dispute through diplomacy — while the rest of his bill is clearly designed to sink diplomatic initiatives that are bound to run aground on the rocks of sanctions.
		Lantos should go down to Walter Reed Army Hospital and see those endless rows of wounded soldiers maimed in an unwinnable, futile war that he voted to authorize and continues to support.

	democracyarsenal.org: Tom Lantos
		Lantos explained to his guest from Israel that there's no lack of Iraqi opposition figures in exile, but until they learn how to run a state, "we'll be there." According to Lantos that interim period, with an American-sponsored dictator in power, should last between five to six years.
		Lantos' most memorable effort, though, may be his role in pushing a tale that is now regarded as a museum-worthy specimen of war-time propaganda — the discredited Gulf War 1 yarn of Iraqi soldiers yanking Kuwaiti babies from their incubators as they looted hospitals.
		Tom Lantos was a good man, please do not disgrace his memory with offensive comments that glaze over the legacy of great hero.

	TPM Cafe \| Talking Points Memo \| Tom Lantos' Israel-Palestine Shift
		Lantos was one of the Congress' last real characters of an age mostly gone in which eccentricity, a hybrid of vanity and humility, purpose, passion, and gentility packaged together was a winning path to leadership positions like the one he held for so long.
		Lantos had helped hatch and sponsor a young set of Congressional interns called "Lantos Humanity in Action" fellows -- and one of these was my former research assistant and partner in the battle against John Bolton's confirmation, Mark Goldberg.
		Lantos' humanitarian concerns did not extend to Palestinians or anyone else he saw as Israel's enemies but his advocacy for Israel was branching off into new directions from the kneejerk Likudnik policies so prevalent and deeply embedded on the Hill.

	TOM Lantos, the EVIL biggots hater - Ummah.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The support lavished upon Israel by Rep. Tom Lantos has been regarded largely with indifference by his constituents, whose main worries have been about their daily lives rather than the problems plaguing the Middle East.
		Because Lantos, D-San Mateo, is a prodigious political fund-raiser who routinely keeps more than $700,000 in his campaign coffers, and because he pays attention to his district with an experienced shrewdness, his position as one of the leading supporters of Israel in Congress has been more novelty than the stuff of political import.
		Lantos was part of the anti-communist student movement, until he emigrated to the United States in 1947 as a college student.
