So as any Lawyer will tell you, "memory" is fallible. So here is a real life example of a "memory" being recalled completely different at different times. I suspect something like this happened to McCain.

You are basically saying that McCain could be suffering from dementia or senility.

I just find the defensiveness amusing when McCain screws up and has several versions of his story, after the dozens of critical threads about Hillary and her sniper and Kerry and his Christmas in Cambodia.

They are politicians. They ALL fabricate stuff.

I’ll say right now: McCain had this experience in the 1960’s, in Hanoi.

Most likely, he spoke of it, after his release. In the 1960’s.

Famous guy like that. People listen.

I think Solzhenitsyn, an unknown, snarked the story from the much more famous McCain!! Shame on him. ;)

But that’s really above my pay grade.

You know what? Is it not possible for an individual to recount exactly the same situation or event at different times and use different words and a different emphasis? It’s neither a matter of memory nor a matter of fabrication.

You forgot to put in your line about stuffing a sock (something?) into McCain’s mouth when he says ‘my friends.’

How come?
