she was there to try to make foreign policy and was roundly criticized for doing so, not her job, the "republican" was Arlen Spectre, not sure many considered him a "republican" at that point and pretty sure he soon became a "democrat"......the "the other republican reps" were there separately on a fact finding mission and were also criticized for going but were not attempting to make foreign policy......Pelosi ended up making some unfortunate comments while there which also drew her quite a bit of criticism from all sides....it's quite a bit the same and actually much worse in Pelosi's case...Congress was perfectly within their right...Pelosi was far outside her scope ....in the case Pelosi/Obama, we have "leaders" bargaining with our enemies and not in our or our allies best interest...
