. . . Everyone in D.C. and Arizona knows of the mean-spirited side of John McCain. But on no issue has John McCain been meaner than the question of the hundreds of U.S. POWs who did not come home in 1973 when McCain came home.
He has used his unique and hard-earned status as a former POW not to help the cause of the un-returned POWs, but rather to attack POW activists, demean POW family members, and to bolster the Pentagon's long-term strategy of debunking credible sightings of POWs.
The one on the cover of the book was placed by a U.S. airmen still held against his will 15 years after the end of the Vietnam War and the return of McCain and the other now-famous U.S. POWs.
The symbol measures 37 feet across and each of the letters is 12 feet high.
The Walking K part is a secret; no one could or would know its significance other than the U.S. airman who was given this unique code before his mission.
This code translates to: "I am alive! Come and get me out of here!"
When this evidence was made public John McCain did not ride to his former comrade's rescue.
Instead, he sided with the Defense Intelligence Agency's debunking team, whose role is to discredit every report, sighting, satellite image and radio intercept. Clearly they have an agenda: prove that no POWs are still held alive over there. (To admit otherwise places the U.S. government in a massive hostage crisis — and exposes countless now-famous officials as having knowingly abandoned these POWs.)
And do you know how McCain explained this rescue symbol visible from space in a rice paddy in Laos?
He claimed it was created by a 6-year old Laotian boy who was copying an American postage stamp!
It is in his memoir, "Worth The Fighting For."
These questions remian unanswered by McCain:
How did a 6-year old Lao boy know of the secret walking K code?
How could a 6-year old boy possibly write a well-written — in English — "USA" 37 feet wide and 12 feet high?
Why would he do it?
How could he possibly know that an American satellite would fly overhead and photograph it? All of these questions point to the most sinister part of the POW issue: the U.S. government has known all along that our POWs are still there — and still sending E&E signals. (There are sightings of other E&E codes through the years, all the way up to 1992. You can see some of them on www.enormouscrime.com.) And the Pentagon is still receiving, and hiding from the public, credible live-sighting reports of our POWs still held against their will in both Vietnam and Laos.
John McCain — the most famous former POW — has provided cover for this nefarious behavior by the Pentagon and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
He has used his former POW status to defend the Pentagon and to attack those of us who claim something rotten is going on inside D.C. And he fits this role to a T: his attack-dog style mows down anyone in his path including mothers, wives, and the children of our still-missing, POWs...

After watching McCain and Bush on the amnesty bill, I find myself wondering just how corrupt our government might really be, both sides of the aisle. Nah...couldn’t be, right? I know, I know...don’t bother saying it. I’ll go put my aluminum foil ski mask on now.
Amen..
There is FAR more justification and cause to distrust McCain than to trust him..
A POX on his ass and his defender’s asses..
Make it really simple:
McCain, Enemy of the American people
The incident that CONVINCED me I was correct about the lying, self serving bastard — was the day McCain went public to support Kerry against the charges being made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth..
McCain DEFENDED Kerry, and ATTACKED the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth..
That act - together with his history and acts since that day, gave me an unshakable confidence that McCain is worthless and possibly traitorous sonuvabitch...
This is a lie. And it is the usual output from John LeBoutillier, an ass if there ever were one.
McCain’s military service, and particularly the time (5 1/2 years) he was imprisoned (and tortured) in the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War are worthy of the highest respect.
McCain was offered early repatriation by the North Vietnamese, but declined in lieu OF HIS FELLOW AMERICAN PRISONERS NOT BEING RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME - and indeed remained a prisoner there until all prisoners were released.
I agree completely concerning his behavior during the war. I have the opposite feelings about the Senate actions he took with John Kerry to normalize relations with Vietnam, which actions included destroying many (most? all?) files concerning MIA's so that the two countries could get along better or some such garbage. Kerry got huge contracts for a relative. What did McCain get? I don't know but would like to.

Amen brother.
What the hell is going to happen in America - once we have lost the remaining survivors of the “Greatest Generation”, and soon thereafter - we burned and cynical old farts from Nam?
It ain’t gonna be pretty.....
McKane(sp!) is the death of the GOP.
Vile.
Just VILE.

A vile bump.
Another hit piece. Nothing to see here, folks.
“The Controversy ... Hero or Traitor ... What do you think?
On one side, we have McCain’s supporters with their version of key events in the Senators life. On the other side, we have the “NO” McCain camp, naturally with a radically different version of the events. Who is telling the truth? (Or more probably, who is telling the most truth) Well, you may already have firm beliefs (”he’s a true hero” or “he’s a damn traitor”), and you won’t be swayed, no matter what you see or hear. Or you may want to become better informed so you can make that decision. To that end, we hope you can find enough information here to either, reaffirm your choice, or help you decide.”
