[Lancey Howard]

He said he was not tortured with Kerry's actual words, but that they were tortured and told they were war criminals, as Kerry had alleged. He did say that Kerry's speech was played over loudspeakers to the POWs.

Then he and the others WERE tortured with Kerry's actual words.

True. I think he was being very careful to be absolutely accurate about his own experience. Listening to him tell about that, and imagining seven years in that hell - it takes your breath away.

Like a true hero, he projected a very calm demeanor and in some ways almost downplayed what he endured. I'm afraid the younger generation might not understand what these people went through. I almost wish that Sean had shown pictures of the POWS getting off the planes from Vietnam, to underscore what these men endured.
