Hiding the old?

This does smell like they're trying to hide something,
Senator John McCain is set to release 400 pages of medical records, including documents related to his melanoma surgery in August 2000, to a tightly controlled group of reporters on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend.....

On Friday, the campaign will allow a small pool of reporters access to the records from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Pacific time in a conference room at the Copper Wind Resort in Phoenix, near the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale. The reporters will be allowed to take notes but not remove or photocopy the records.

So, just a few reporters, just a few hours, no medical expertise in the room, done the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Hmmm...

  • if nothing else, it points to the degree of secrecy a McCain administration would likely pursue, which would continue the current Bush tactics: delay and obfuscate.

  • Yeah, maybe.

    I'm more intrigued by the limiting of personnel and access at their discretion almost guaranteeing the type of coverage they get.
