Another twitter 'cock up'.  This time it was a US Congressman.

Who says Republicans are technological Neanderthals?

Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra on Friday showed just how hip he is by twittering his arrival in Iraq.

“Just landed in Baghdad,” he wrote. “I believe it may be the first time I’ve had BlackBerry service in Iraq.”

Oops

Problem is, it was a secret trip.
