Truth Not Always Wise

Cardinal Walter Kasper, a key aide to Pope Benedict, has gotten in trouble for undiplomatically telling the truth. According to this Daily Mail article, Kasper told a German magazine:

When you land at Heathrow you think at times you have landed in a Third World country.

Um, yes, Heathrow actually does look that way, mostly because people from all over the world come to London. Dulles and Frankfurt look much the same. Apparently this is one of those things you can see but must not speak about.
