The White House reiterated on Wednesday its objection to plans by Democratic leaders of Congress to visit Iran.
"On a day when the U.S. military reports additional evidence of Iran's meddling in Iraq with weapons and training that are being used to kill our soldiers, it's troubling that some Democrats are making travel arrangements to visit Tehran," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said at a briefing.
Such trips would be "unproductive and unhelpful - and that applies to all members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats," Perino said.
The spokeswoman made the remarks after Democratic Representative Tom Lantos said he was ready to go to visit Iran. Lantos also suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would go to Tehran as well.

Which is precisely why the Dems are determined to do this.
Yes I do.
On a one way trip.
BTW. Welcome to FR.
A 747 should hold all the Dems in Congress plus a lot of RHINO’s.
They might as well ask the UN to pass a resolution asking them not to go. It’d do just as much good.
What’s your opinion, noname247?
Its treason.
They should be called on to declare war on Iran. They are all living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
The White House simply needs to ENFORCE DISCIPLINE on the children of congress: You WILL NOT receive a PLANE or ANY SECRET SERVICE OR MILITARY accompanying you if you go against the wishes of this administration. To speak with the enemy is to consort with them...Go, but don’t come back! EVER! PELOSI IS SO FULL OF HERSELF!
Good, then refuse to issue the visas.
LOL.On a serious note however,why are these folks above criminal prosecution or at the very least public scorn.
Will Ahmadinejad deny that Lantos was ever there?
Hopefully the elected republicans will take this and run to the microphones and cameras and make this as public as possible.
I double dog dare them to go!!!
You gotta be kidding me. If she goes to Tehran then the Bush administration should just void her citizenship.
Ayn Rand couldn’t have written anything better than all this.
I agree.
