Twittering on Twitter

In the can't make this stuff up department, let us look at the case of Peter Hoekstra and his secret trip to Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a Republican delegation. Seems the ranking Republican on the Intelligence committee decided to post his itinerary on Twitter. Now, I am no techy but even I could figure out that posting a secret trip taken with my colleagues was not a particularly good idea. It would be bad enough, but the fact that he serves on the Intelligence committee makes his posting even more inexplicable, unless he not so secretly hopes for the demise of his Republican friends. I must admit if I had to travel with the reptilian John Boehner, I migh harbor a wicked thought or two.
