I know nothing of the particulars of Sen. McCain's confinement, but this
stuff gives off a very strong aroma of fertilizer:

Ted Guy, a former Air Force Colonel held 5 1/2 years by the Vietnamese
and McCain's senior ranking officer (SRO) in the POW camp, told the
U.S. Veteran Dispatch he cannot remember the communists ever laying a
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
hand on McCain.

Other sources have told the U.S. Veteran Dispatch that the Vietnamese
^^^^^^^^^^^
are holding as much as fifty hours of film footage secretly taken of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
McCain during the time his KGB-trained handlers had him isolated from
other U.S. prisoners of war.

Some of the film, according to the sources, is of McCain receiving
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
special privileges during the time he claims he was being tortured and
held in long-term solitary confinement.

etc., etc.

and finally:

It is not yet publicly known just how much he collaborated and what
kind of favors he received in return. Those in the U.S. government
that do know are not talking.

So...guess what?...it's a conspiracy!


Yes. The quote is a bit reactionary. :-)

I meant to quote this version:
http://www.sierratimes.com/cgi-bin/i...rum=2&topic=85
which contains this bit of information:

Lest we forget, he [McCain] was also one of the "Keating Five,"
the five U.S. senators whom the convicted Phoenix savings and
loans financier, Charles Keating, a 'mega fraud' in a financial
sense comparable to that of the McCain's alleged war record,
turned to when he needed favors in Washington, Disease. "Birds of
a feather flock together?"


And while we are discussing the Keating Five, let's not forget the rest of the
Keating Five:

Alan MacG. Cranston (D-California)
Dennis W. DeConcini (D-Arizona)
John H. Glenn Jr. (D-Ohio)
Donald W. Riegle Jr. (D-Michigan)
