Extraordinary details on how John McCain got dirty dossier from ex-spy
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Name 3 pows who did not write such a confession.
For some reason Jeremiah Denton, that most valiant officer who was beaten for blinking out “T..O..R..T..U..R..E.. “in Code to a camera crew never received the accolades and approbation that McCain did.
God bless Jeremiah Denton!
Benedict McCain at it again.

Also disloyal to a loving wife who was true to him throughout his years of captivity — dumped her quickly
I thought Comey already had a copy.
Probably because at the time, Trump sounded like a mouthpiece of the Kremlin on foreign policy.... though I think Trump was doing that deliberately to appeal to the fringe Bernie Sanders/Antiwar.com/libertarian/Russian emigre crowd and win their votes [or at least sow confusion among the traditional Democratic Party base], as Bannon mentioned such a tactic of temporary cultivation of votes when asked about the strange ‘big tent’ coalition the campaign was setting up.
Trump has since changed his position once he had access to intel briefings, as Bannon predicted he would, but during the campaign he did spew out the same talking points on Iraq and Syria as pro-Russian trolls have always done.
Denton did write a confession. They all did under torture, according to Stockdale.
He was a jerk in regard to his first wife, but that has nothing to do with my question.
Actually, McCain is a traitor and a criminal. Ask the Viet Cong, and the Phoenician shareholders.
I only know of one POW who resisted the torturers- not a pilot in Hanoi but an American military advisor and wanna-be-priest held elsewhere from very early on named Rocky Versace... but he was held by the fanatical VC and never was at the mercy of the Hanoi professionals, which included Cubans.
His resistance so infuriated the Vietnamese [and heartened the other Americans held captive] that the Vietnamese grew frustrated and ultimately executed him.
If this is true, I wonder if he will perjure himself?
More than anything - the voters of Arizona have a lot to answer for sending this evil treacherous scumbag back to the Senate time and again
Denton and Stockdale heroically led the POW resistance but they all were subjected to torture to get confessions and knew it was only a matter of time before each man would have to give one, or if unable to write it himself, would be forced to sign one.
Some were ingenious about it, though, like :
“There was Nels Tanner, tortured into writing a confession of war crimes; he identified a Lt. Clark Kent and was thereafter known as the author of Superman’s confession.”
Unfortunately for Tanner, the leftists in the US made a point of letting the Vietnamese know they’d been pranked. Bastards probably had leftists review them for cultural giveaways like “Clark Kent” from then on.
POWs that had the benefit of leadership like Denton’s and Stockdale’s undoubtedly fared better psychologically than those who were isolated.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He has his good points. For example, he’s really good at not becoming the President.
This could be the one Comey got.
