The Media Are Not Telling The Whole Story

I love those moments of ironic truth one sometimes finds in the Bible- like after Jesus rescues Lazarus from the grave and was becoming dangerously popular, Caiphas says, "You do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish," or some such. Another is when Pilate seems to know Jesus has done nothing wrong and tries to clear his conscience of killing him with the whole washing his hands bit, he hands him over to be crucified with the crowd yelling, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

Ha ha- those are good ones, God.

So I wonder what it means that Political Maverick John McCain says the media don't give us the whole story on Iraq. What does he really mean to show during his recent Iraq junket; is this one of those God's ironic truth moments? Does it mean despite his worst efforts, little bits of honesty will keep interrupting his campaign? Does it mean he will be dogged by the truth like some latter day Peter?

If that's the case, maybe he still is a political maverick.

Some people may take issue with me seeing the scriptural and political intersecting like this, but some people have no more sense than a baby.
