Any insight is appreciated.

I think the story involved how McCain was brainwashed while being held by PANV.

This isn’t the thread (it’s a homepage), but it’s a good place to start.

Did not see the thread, but it's true that he was definitely involved. I nearly destroyed my TV when I heard it, and when asked, he defended the idea with gusto.

The only thing I have seen on the market from Vietnam is fish. They compete with our catfish, and their fish is much cheaper.

As to Vietnam, I did not need or want relations with them. I still don't.

When John Kerry's Courage Went M.I.A.

Although this article is primarily about Kerry's role, McCain is mentioned as an accomplice.

"A number of staffers became increasingly upset about Kerry's close relationship with the Department of Defense, which was supposed to be under examination. (Dick Cheney was then defense secretary.) It had become clear that Kerry, Zwenig, and others close to the chairman, such as Senator John McCain of Arizona, a dominant committee member, had gotten cozy with the officials and agencies supposedly being probed for obscuring P.O.W. information over the years. Committee hearings, for example, were being orchestrated to suit the examinees, who were receiving lists of potential questions in advance. Another internal memo from the period, by a staffer who requested anonymity, said: "Speaking for the other investigators, I can say we are sick and tired of this investigation being controlled by those we are supposedly investigating."

Freeper Alert: Sen. KERRY / Communist Vietnamese Killing Off Christains in Central Highlands... (...with Senator McCAIN (R) in complete agreement with him, is because "Engagement" with Communist Vietnam is better for the people of Vietnam in the long run.)

I believe John Kerry was also involved in pushing for normalization of relations with North Vietnam. That's no big surprise, but it was later learned that a cousin of his was planning on setting up business there.

When I did a search for info on the cousin, Stuart Forbes, I came across this article written based on a statement to Congress by the former POW/MIA Affairs Chief in June of '98. It's interesting in that about halfway down the statement, it discusses Kerry and McCain being on the Senate Select Committee for POW/MIA Affairs. It also mentions Clinton and the Riady's, Worthen Bank and Stephens Investment, both of Little Rock, Arkansas, Ron Brown, John Huang, the Commerce Dept. and how Huang's first meeting after taking his new position at the Commerce Dept., was oriented toward developing increased commercial relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

It's pretty interesting because it deals with payoffs and deals. The link to the article is:

And the purpose of this post is what? To weaken McCain further and hurt his chances against the Hildebeast or Crackhead even more? Enough already. He’s the nominee. Let’s support him and prevent the destruction of the United States as we know it.
