Team,
I’ve noticed this already getting out on blogs and forums. Obviously, bogus stuff worthy of the recesses of conspiracy websites only. Let’s get some talking points together. I am tied up most of today, but one thing we should check is news articles from around the hearings for ‘praise’ on both sides for McCain, debunking the ‘ignore the POW’ rumors.
McCain was not Chairman of the committee. He was not co-Chairman. He was a committee member along with every Vietnam vet in the Senate, save for Al Gore. It was not the first investigation into the POWS or even the second. It was the third and it happened 20 years after the war.
There was NO credible evidence that there were surviving POWs anywhere in SEA. There were rumors and outright lies from people who stood to gain from the frenzy. The committee chased thousands of these leads and found nothing. The report of the Select Committee is available online. It is a very balanced and fair assessment of the POW issue and worth a read.
