I see no further reporting in either the print or electronic versions of WaPo, but the NYT online has a full follow-up story on McCain's false ad on the topic of Obama's cancelled visit to the wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/29/us/politics/29truth.html?_r=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin). 

The article clearly states that the Obama campaign never planned for reporters to accompany him on the visit to the troops.  It further states that, after the Pentagon contacted Obama's campaign advisor, Major General Scott Gration, and advised him that the Pentagon considered the visit inappropriate as the trip was now viewed as political, they decided that it would be best to cancel the visit, rather than involve wounded troops in political controversy.

The article goes on to point out that Obama could have possibly continued with the visit to the medical visit by leaving his campaign staff behind.  They conclude with a statement from Robert Gibbs, a strategist for the Obama campaign, who states that this position was not considered advisable, as it was still likely that controversy would result from the visit, and Obama preferred not to have wounded troops in the middle of it.

Overall, I think this is good follow-up on the part of NYT and I appreciate it and will send an email to the author (Jeff Zeleny) letting him know. 

If you wrote to NYT yesterday challenging them on this issue, thanks so much for participating, and please take some time to follow up today to thank them for their thoughtful follow through on the issue.
