Does anyone know which Republicans went with her? Were they there to keep an eye on her or did they agree with her going?

These three went before her:



Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, meets with a three-man delegation from the United States House of Representatives, in Damascus on Sunday, April 1, 2007. Representatives Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts and Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, flew into Damascus on Saturday on a two-day visit ahead of the U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Syria on Tuesday.

Her delegation:

Others traveling with Pelosi were Democratic Reps. Tom Lantos of San Mateo, Henry Waxman of Los Angeles, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Louise Slaughter of New York and Nick Rahall of West Virginia, and Ohio Republican David Hobson. Ellison is the first Muslim member of Congress.

How convenient. She took our first muslim Congress member. I thought I also saw something saying that Representative Issa went. I am upset that Hobson went.

Oddly (IMO), I can't seem to find a complete list of the "delegation" (quotes because didn't a "delegation" used to be "delegated" by someone?), only various partial lists, with some overlap (I bolded Repub names):

Pelosi's House website:

The Pelosi delegation, which included Representatives James E. Clyburn (D-SC), Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, Melvin Watt (D-NC), Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, George Miller (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Donald Payne (D-NJ), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-MI), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and Joe Wilson (R-SC) . . .

Al Jazeera has this:

The delegation also includes, in addition to the Muslim Keith Ellison, the Jewish Tom Lantos, and the Christian Arab American Nic Rahal.

Mercury News has this:

Others traveling with Pelosi were Democratic Reps. Tom Lantos of San Mateo, Henry Waxman of Los Angeles, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Louise Slaughter of New York and Nick Rahall of West Virginia, and Ohio Republican David Hobson
.

SpiegelM picks up a NYT story:

In addition to Mr. Lantos, the delegation includes Representatives Henry A. Waxman of California, Louise M. Slaughter of New York, Nick J. Rahall II of West Virginia and Keith Ellison of Minnesota, all Democrats, as well as David L. Hobson, Republican of Ohio.

They had to be RINOs. A true Republican would not have defied the President. And defy him they did.
