Rep. Tom Lantos of California, who supported the Free Burma Movement -- dead at 80

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/11/lantos.obit/index.html

Tom Lantos and Mrs. Lantos were a few of the earliest supporters of the Burmese democracy movement and were unwavering in their support.

He was always very succinct in his comments, and very elegant.
