Don't get me wrong, I can't stand McCain. However, the fact that he told the NVA guards that he would give them information in return for medical care doesn't mean he actually gave them any information. Nor does his conduct after the war have anything to do with his conduct while a POW. I never want this guy to be president, but I don't think that trying to discredit in this way will help matters. This is completely different from what happened with sKerry, we are speaking about Senate POW committees that met a decade or more after the war ended.

Until one of his fellow POWs will go on record and publicly relate specific acts of dishonor while in NVA captivity (and giving the enemy misinformation in return for medical care was not very unusual), I do not think that McCain's POW status should be questioned.

I said that McCains activities AS a POW and his activities with Chairman kerry while he was minority "leader" of the Senate Select Committee on POW's will be his undoing.

And it will. What you want to believe as of now will make no difference during the primary. He won't get to first base. Jimmy Carter modified the Military Code of Conduct by lowering the standard, largely due to McCains activities and campaigning against it.....the testimony will speak for itself. He's no hero, he's a wimp who got a pass.....and then later turned his back on those who were never released, along with kerry.
