Often wondered about that myself. After that POW committee and revisit to Vietnam, McCain underwent a significant change.
I could never figure out what caused it - an epiphany or something he discovered or was told?
His little soul-searching session with Kerry on the trip, where they became bosom buddies, always puzzled me. There had always been a significant breach between him and Kerry.
From opposite poles to close friends, virtually overnight? -odd.
Some shenigans with the MIA list and sudden closure of the "Vietnam issue", distressed a lot of MIA families. McCain had to be at least aware of the situation, but didn't support efforts of Rep. Bob Smith
McCain's politics mellowed dramatically, too.
And perhaps people should wonder why McCain was so happy to see - and hug - the guy who held him captive - Might McCain have gone the same way as Kerry - only people didn't know it
