So I didn't realize until now that one of the prime movers behind the decision to give the name "freedom fries" to the spuds Congress eats has turned against the war in Iraq:

The words "freedom fries" are still on the menu in the U.S. House cafeteria, and are likely to appear in the first line of Walter Jones' obituary, perhaps with their lesser-known cousin, freedom toast....

Ask him about it now, and he lays his cheek in his left hand, a habit he repeats dozens of times a day when lost in thought or sadness.

...Jones now says we went to war "with no justification." He has challenged the Bush administration, quizzing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other presidential advisers in public hearings. He has lined the hallway outside his office with "the faces of the fallen."

Jones represents the state's most military congressional district, running from Camp Lejeune along the coast through Cherry Point, up to the Outer Banks.

"If we were given misinformation intentionally by people in this administration, to commit the authority to send boys, and in some instances girls, to go into Iraq, that is wrong," Jones said. "Congress must be told the truth."...

Jones is still a very, very conservative Republican. As the story (from the Raleigh News & Observer) notes, he wants preachers to be able to endorse candidates from the pulpit and he worries about children's books that say gay is OK. But on this, he's broken ranks.
