The last sentence from your source tells me all I need to know.

“In 1993, during one of his many trips back to Hanoi, McCain asked the Vietnamese not to make public the records they hold pertaining to returned U.S. POWs.”

Listen people,
You may not like John McCain’s politics, but to believe McCain was not a POW hero who did his very best means you must also reject the testimony of men like Bud Day - the most decorated military man alive today - and Orson Swindle, and Jeremiah Denton - all of whom were there with John McCain and vouch for his bravery and integrity. Don’t let your blind hate of a man because of his politics drive you to believe the pathetic rot some are spreading about a man who suffered horrific treatment in service to his country. You have to be better people than that.

Indeed. If roles were reversed and it were John Kerry making such a request of the Vietnamese government, this entire forum would be demanding answers.
