could I get an opinion?

People go to public religious shrines all the time, whether in the 
Vatican or in Israel or in Lumbini (birthplace of the Buddha).  And 
sometimes, photographers are there, or members of the media, if the 
person making the visit is famous.  But I don't get any sense that he 
invited the press to remove his private prayer from the wall and 
publish it.  Dan, answer me honestly-- if this had happened to John 
McCain, wouldn't you be a bit offended?
