McCain's Vietnamese jailer calls him a liar but would still vote for him!

"If I were an American voter, I would vote for Mr. John McCain," Tran Trong Duyet said Friday, sitting in his living room in the northern city of Haiphong, surrounded by black-and-white photos of a much younger version of himself and former Vietnam War prisoners.

At the same time, he denies prisoners of war were tortured. Despite detailed POW accounts and physical wounds, Duyet claims the presumed Republican presidential nominee made up beatings and solitary confinement in an attempt to win votes. "They are liars. What they said is not true," said Duyet, who was a jailer at Hoa Lo from 1968 until the POW release in 1973, serving as prison chief the last three years. Duyet claimed McCain "invented that story that he was tortured and beaten to win votes."


Hmm, I'd say by the "Swift Boat" standards McCain is a liar and deserves to be mocked merciliessly for his so-called war wounds.

Papa I am still bitter at all those old chicken hawk Republicans wearing "Purple Heart Band-aids" at the convention mocking Kerry's war wounds.

joe, i mocked and do mock kerry's war wounds. to even mention them in the same breath as what mccain went through makes me retch. but it is nice to see that you're not above resorting to the exact tactics that you complained about last time around.

some on the left seem to have taken my advice. hopefully this will get the coverage you want, joe.
mccain's service record is fair game becuse he's a traitor

And everyone knows that Vietnamese POW jailers are more honest than Abe Lincoln,
