Personally, I think the title (whomever added "Hurray McCain!") risks turning this into a Vanity and away from the position of a straight news story.

There is no evidence that the other two US senators and McCain had ANYHING TO DO WITH THIS RELEASE.

I asked the moderator to remove that from the title to adhere to our standards, and/but of course it still stands as it is. Hence, Free Republic is becoming intellectually dishonest and not objective in its news stories, to allow a headline that gives credit to a major international news event to one particular candidate, who had nothing to do with it.

Why is that still on there?

If anything, "Hurray Uribe!", or "Hurray Colombian Military!", or "Hurray Israeli commando trainers!" is appropriate. "Hurray McCain!" is just as appropriate as "Hurray Obama!"

There was another thread using this news on the same day. The other thread was an honest one.

It was removed.
