Well, if ya consider McCarthy defending Nazi's who executed 88 of our POWS, and accusing our military of being cruel to them a minor point, ya got me there.

Think it through.

The Nazis executed American POWs in outrageous violation of every tenet of civilization we believe in.

Was there ever any doubt that, when caught, those criminals would be or were treated with extreme prejudice -- also in violation of the Geneva Convention and those tenets of civilization we uphold and respect?

Does anger and revenge justify our mistreatment of the German prisoners?

No. It just explains it. Seems like that was Joe's point.

He wasn't championing the Nazi atrocities. He was shedding light on our own vengeful behavior. Somebody had to do it.

I'm curious. How exactly did he 'defend' them? Is there some source where I can read exact quotes?

The only reason I ask is that the left spins an awful lot of stuff. (Not saying you are a lefty, by the way.) I'd just like to make sure McCarthy actually said what is claimed.
