I don't get it. Recently a McCain staffer (Black) observed that if there were another 9/11 type attack on the US before the election, that the McCain campaign would benefit. To me, that is an obvious fact. But a controversy arose and Black apologized. To who? What for? Is the truth not to be spoken? If this were to happen, folks would be forcefully reminded that national security is an issue in this campaign and McCain, generally being thought of as stronger on this issue than Obama, would likely get a bounce in the polls. Oh, sorry, I'm not allowed to say that because it might offend someone!
