Rep. Walter Jones, D-N.C., speaks during a news conference calling for a timetable to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq and for a full and open debate on the Iraq war on Capitol Hill in Washington on June 14, 2006. The rope around his wrists symbolically states that the House leadership has "tied" the hands of those wishing to freely debate the Iraq war and U.S. policy towards Iraq. (UPI Photo/Roger L.
