[edit] More Speculation and Opinion than Facts
In the second paragraph of this article, it is speculated that Congressman Rahall dropped out of George Washington University purely because of the ending of the draft but no source is given to confirm if that is a fact or pure coincidence.
Also, it is speculated in the second paragraph of this article that just because Congressman Rahall worked under Senator Byrd, that he is "racist", but of course just as before, there is no source to verify this statement. Working under Senator Byrd is not enough evidence to claim that Rahall shares his views in itself. On that same note, just because Rahall is of Lebanese decent does not mean that is the motivation behind is voting record on the Middle East. All of these above statements would be fine if there were sources to back them up.
I feel these statements should be removed from this "article" if sources cannot be cited to support these claims...if there are no sources to support these claims, then it is apparent that this is not an article, but instead it's someone's opinion piece.

I agree with Caponer on this. I am going to remove the comment on him agreeing with Byrd's views on race, since there is no evidence that he is racist. Most of the other stuff added recently is mere speculation and should also be tossed. Youngamerican 16:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've made adjustments to the article to remove POV statements as much as possible. Would still like to see some sources, however. Youngamerican 16:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
There is way too much that is purposely written in a negative way, irrelevant, or made up. -Ernie
Nick Rahall doesn't really know what is happening in the Middle East. He should get a clue: Israel was attacked and is responding to aggression. Its escaped his notice Israel is still under attack. Its not Israel's responsibility to let Hezbollah go unharmed; its the job of the Lebanese to dismantle the state within a state that keeps them from having a fully normal life. Hezbollah must be destroyed for there to be peace. At the moment, I think the humane solution would be for Israel's Air Force to turn Hezbollahland into good-sized parking lots. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SoCalJustice (talk • contribs).
