To: Eric in the Ozarks; all the best
I don’t buy it.

You are, of course, entitled to your own opinion. Unfortunately, facts are stubborn things, and Shanberg is telling the truth. And, it's not anything new. He researched and reported on this way back in the '90s.

This subject has been covered extensively here on FR and should be in the archives. There are even a few of us here who watched aghast in real time in 1993 as McCain and John Kerry on the Senate Select Committee on POWs/MIAs sabotaged and torpedoed the efforts of the families of the missing men to get our government to make an honest attempt to demand an accounting of their loved ones.

I always give John McCain credit for his personal bravery and suffering as a POW, but I also will never forget that whatever honor he accrued for that service he cravenly tossed aside when he betrayed those that were left behind.

It's irrelevant what you or I believe - McCain will get away with it in this life. His problem, however, is that he's going to one day face a higher court and a Judge before whom all equivocations, rationalizations and lies are moot. I pity him.

McPain is not what the people of AZ have believed since 1982, but I don’t think their minds can be taught the truth.

What is McCain's motive for suppressing the POW/MIA issue?

My memory is not the best but I will tell you this: I remember a congressman being on G.Gordon Liddy’s show. He was going to Viet Nam and had facts on MIA’s The government would not give him a visa. I remember him screaming on Liddy’s show. MIA’s in Viet Nam would be a big embarassment to the Government. It is just like the well know movie, replayed again and again. “ You will do the Potomac Two step. Mr. President, I don't dance.”
