but lets use others as props ... ooops!!!!

This caused a problem: Included was a shot of the Obamas posing with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife Sonsoles Espinosa, and two daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, who've never had photographs of themselves published previously in print or online due to a Spanish law prohibiting the media from doing so.

IMO, this was likely due to someone in Protocol being asleep at the job and not realizing this Spanish law. I don't think there was any malice or hypocricy at all. Just a mistake that shouldn't have happened.
 
Someone was definitely asleep at the wheel:

The photo of Zapatero and his family with the Obamas was quickly removed from Flickr at the request of the Spanish government but still lurks online (in the shot seen here their faces are blurred). The flap is adding concerns on the issue of the privacy of world leaders' children in the digital age.

In addition to successfully lobbying the State Department to remove the photo, the Spanish government went so far as to have the state-owned Spanish news agency EFE refrain from distributing it.

Though McCain has no room to talk about politicians and children. Considering his joke about Chelsea Clinton.
:confused: Has McCain commented on this?
 
Well, wouldn't the prime minister and his wife know?
Could they have asked that the photos not be shared .... ooops!
