He was a screw-up who would never have become a pilot without his family legacy and he crashed two planes.

McCain also sadly admits he gave up secrets under torturous duress and feels guilty about it. He also feels guilty about the Keating 5. (he's a feelin' a who'lotta guilt heeeaa)Trying to make amends perhaps?

If he were to magically become the Pubbie nominee, I'll bet the media would come back to his breakdown during torture, and the secrets he surrendered. Not to mention a divorce, and a trophy wife hooked on painkillers.

None of this even addresses the irony of his captors ignoring Geneva conventions to torture him, yet he still believes we should take the high moral grounds, even it means putting our guys in danger.

Yet we hear over and over, torture doesn't work, you get bad info, they'll say anything. That is probably true when you are trying to get someone to confess they are a witch, or to sign a phony confession that says they are an enemy of the state. But I'll bet that if you are asking for information and tell the "subject" if you give us stuff that isn't true, this is gonna get a lot worse, you'll get some pretty good info.
