Changing a position based on new information is one thing; one would

hope that an intelligent person would have the capability to do this.

But we are not discussing a changed position on an issue: this is a

matter of McCain making claims that are simply not true (his economic

knowledge; walking without protection in Baghdad), or blatantly

misrepresenting his positions (Katrina) or experience (al Qaeda and

Iran).
