So... was McCain having an ultimate senior moment when he gave potential assassins a window to shoot for?

If there are two things that we know about John McCain, it's that he doesn't like to talk about being a P.O.W...except for when he's constantly talking about it or putting out ads featuring it, and that only he understands war and all that it entails. So why in the hell would he cheerfully reveal information like this? Did he forget that secrecy surrounds any notable person's visit to Iraq, or did he think Al-Qaeda was in Iran for the weekend and wouldn't be a problem?
