It's a great gesture from the former President but why does it have to be news, especially since they made an effort to fly under the RADAR when they did it?

If it makes President Bush look good then it won't be in the news.

What President Bush does without announcement or fanfare won't be in the news, you mean. It is apparent that he didn't want to make this into some sort of production number, but rather just wanted to give private well-wishes.

Yeah, because the American and even World media likes to respect President Bush's privacy. If President Obama actually snuck away to Ft. Hood to check up on his soldiers then every news outlet would be praising the compassion of Obama.

Would that be any more newsworthy?
