Representative Tony Hall of Ohio decided to take a little trip to Iraq to see if there really are ill and starving children there.

One father, carrying his sick son in his arms, pleaded with the congressman: "Don't you have a conscience? Don't you have a God? My child is going to die and there's nothing I can do for him."
...
Mr Hall said that, although 70 congressmen in the US had recently asked Washington to reconsider its policy on Iraq, the majority of Americans were not aware of the situation.

Judging by his website, the congressman has made hunger, both domestic and international, one of his key issues.
