'When John McCain was my captive'

'When John McCain was my captive' news.bbc.co.uk Mr Duyet reminisces instead about how he often summoned the future US presidential candidate to his private office for informal chats. "We used to argue about the war - about whether it was right or wrong," he says. "He is a very frank man - very conservative, and very loyal to his country and the American ideal. "He had a very interesting accent and sometimes he taught me words in English and corrected my accent. I have followed his career since he left prison."

This is defently interesting. The jailer of the prison where McCain spent five years as s prisoner speaks about his time there. Not only that is willing to give support for him in the election. I expect a negative spin could be put on this by the openents, but still is interesting. news.bbc.co.uk (visit the link for the full news article)

reply to post by RedGolem Oh my nerves so this guy is saying how McCain lied and he is saying he following his career since he left office yet is just now saying he was never tortured. That’s weird. Why would he not say this when McCain first starting talking about it? Someone is paying this man a lot of money to throw this crap out there.

Originally posted by RedGolem I expect a negative spin could be put on this by the openents, You mean like McCain hanging out with the enemy? having chit chats with them? who knows what information he was sharing. I mean other captives died or were killed at the same detention place (hanoi hilton) where McCain was and they weren't there as long as McCain. How did he last this long? what promises did he make to them? a little too friendly with his captors maybe????

The man is no saying anything derogatory about McCain, and to give McCain some credit, he had to do what he needed to do to survive. People in this boards think that movie type of prisoners of war is the real story of theatrical spoon fed version of misplaced romantic view of what a patriot ready to die for their country in the hands of the enemy should be. Well real life is lot different. Get over it.

Now now, Momma, you know that kind of wording would only be justified if Obama was a captive too. I can't help but wonder how long it would take for that fellow to crack, what with his islamic brainwashing and all that. Oops, i made an unjustified comment!

Don't forget the torture denial.
