According to T, they reveal that McCain had made an "accommodation" with his captors, and in exchange, T's father saw that he was provided with an apartment in Hanoi and the services of two prostitutes.
I don't buy this for a moment. And if it did happen, you can bet there would be a heck of a lot more than handwritten notes in either Russian or Vietnamese. There would be photos, and lots of them.
I don't like McCain. I don't want him to be the nominee. I think he is unstable to the point of paranoid insanity -- but I don't believe he would cooperate with the Vietnamese.
I've just started reading Ken Timmerman's new book Shadow Warriors. The CIA is a seriously sick beast. While the allegations in the above article strike several of the posters on this thread as whacked out tin foil hat stuff, I tend more toward suspecting that there are substantial veins of truth running through here.
Still, I appreciate the doubts expressed here, such as yours. This is to a considerable extent a gut check -- ones take on this is as much a reflection of ones self as it is of the actual events. We clearly lack enough verifiable evidence to decide conclusively either way.
“I don’t like McCain...I think he is unstable to the point of paranoid insanity”...
Geezuzz...You’d really like that wouldn’t you? To see how some of you folks are thinking...How audacious and ridiculous can it be? However, if I am wrong and you’re right then I am impressed with your incredible powers of observation and knowledge of the human condition. (golf clap...) BRAVO!
