Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
I already posted that Newsweek article link, Kat. I guess it jumped out at a lot of us. I was listening to the article's author on CNN when I searched and found the link.

Here is a comment I found on the NYT web site.

This should not go unreported:

"no one brought up the fact that she, in front of a worldwide audience, broke Operational Security the Military prides itself on. She announced the MOS of her son serving in the Army, and went on to say the exact date and the country her son's unit will deploy too. She has not only endangered the life of her son, but all the other soldiers in his unit. Senator John McCain never talked about his own son's service for that very reason. I think it shows the lack of Judgment on the part of McCain's Camp to not screen her speech and shows her own inexperience on the National Stage. For a candidate who prides himself on National Security his Vice Presidential choice just blew that argument out of the water. So why are we not talking about this issue?"
