I remember reading about this a long time ago and I agree that leasing was a bad deal---
In that respect McCain was right to persue it and there is someone in prison because of it. My problem comes from McCain's need for publicity---
And in this case, as it is with so many retired military officers, he just feels the need to bad mouth the President, and Rummy about the war all of the time. He was a POW, which is horrible, but that doesn't make him an expert on running a war!!!
That's my problem with McCain as well -- I can count on one hand and have fingers left over for the times I have agreed with McCain.
