Statement From Dan Rather on the Passing of Former Rep. Charlie Wilson:

DALLAS, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Dan Rather said from Port au Prince Haiti of Charlie Wilson:

"It is the rare congressman who by dint of personality, persistence and country smarts did something that literally altered history on the global stage. What Charlie Wilson did in Afghanistan changed the course of world events.

Charlie Wilson was all Texan and all American. He dreamed big, lived large. He was a member of the pantheon of Texas heroes from Sam Houston, to Jim Bowie."
