Buried in the details.

[Warren Stupidity]

But buried in 1,173 pages of medical records that McCain's campaign released before the conference call was something not previously made public: Two pathologists at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology who examined the melanoma specimen from McCain's left temple in 2000 suggested there were two melanomas on his temple, not one, as his doctors had said publicly at the time.

McCain's campaign and doctors did not respond Friday to a request for clarification of the Armed Forces pathology report and the classification of the melanoma. But two experts in the field who reviewed the report said it was unclear whether the melanoma on McCain's temple had metastasized from another, or whether there was one new primary melanoma.

If the spread was through the nearby melanoma, then there is greater risk to McCain than the public has been led to believe, said Dr. Lynn Schuchter, a melanoma expert at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Mohammed Kashani-Sabet, director of the Melanoma Center at UC San Francisco.

McCain, who would be the oldest president to take office if he is elected in November, chose to release his most recent medical records on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend in what his campaign advisers said was an attempt to downplay reporting about the candidate's cancer surgery. Despite McCain's clean bill of health, the advisers have said they do not consider articles about McCain's melanoma as politically helpful.
