Ok, So Let Me Get This Straight

Ok, so here's a sit down with both McCain and Palin, in which they try to write off her statements regarding Pakistan as "gotcha journalism."

Ok, so on the one hand, they are trying to excuse this because it was a casual encounter with a voter at a pizza place, and reporters are "taking her comments out of context." On the other hand, they are claiming that to lay out your specifics plans for how you would use military strikes is to telegraph your plans to terrorists.  So isn't a pizza place with reporters present one of the WORST places you could do that?

So which is it?  Is this a harmless comment in response to a constituent?  Or is such a comment a dangerous breach of national security? 

It seems to me they are trying to have it both ways.  But by their own standard, she was telegraphing our national security plays to terrorists.
