Don’t you think a guy that claims to be strong on national defense would know better than to leak that sort of information? Perhaps McCain, swayed by his own successful trip, considers Iraq just like a trip to Germany. A walk in the park. Or perhaps he is hoping to improve one of the few chances he has of winning.
Kudos to HuffPo for pointing out that McCain was furious when the press leaked the fact that his son was going there, for fear that he would be targeted.
