mccain exposed by vets and pows

(excerpts from the video)

"I'll tell ya. What's not said on the television – and will not be said on the television – is how much Vietnam veterans and POWs hate John McCain.

Nov 1992 – Sen. John McCain opposes Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs

statements are from Senate Staff, Senators, POWs and POW/MIA family groups

"The Senate felt compelled to set up the Select Committee. It took them 9 months to set up the committee – namely because of the opposition of Senator McCain. He was bitterly opposed to any attempt to find the POWs, which is remarkable seeing as he was a POW himself."

"Under no instance would he ever, ever give in and say that a POW was left behind. And my first question was, 'how would he know or not know?' So, just that which was reasonable, he never exhibited. And I don't know why. Maybe it's a guilt complex. Maybe he promised the Vietnamese something. OK. I don't know what it is. Maybe he actually believes that, and that would be the saddest of all."

"He probably did more harm to the idea of trying to get the truth out than any other single person, through the efforts that he did to block the release of classified intelligence dealing with the POW/MIA problem."

"McCain stepped in and in effect made it harder to get documentation. That certainly hurt us because we had hoped for a massive release of documentation."

"Many, many documents were held back for no reason, and our goal on the Committee was to just dump this stuff – declassify it – literally – to the public. But, of course, they withheld information from the Committee. The U.S. Government withheld all kinds of information from the Committee. I know that for a fact."

"We were wanting to check HIS background, cuz a lot of POWs that were with him in that camp said he was a collaborator of the enemy. He didn't want nobody looking into his background in the camp – what went on in that camp. That stuff is still classified so nobody could see it, and he just had it classified forever. So nobody will ever look at it."

A bill had been drawn up that would penalize any bureaucrat that lied about those records, and McCain fought tooth and nail to protect them – because the bureacrats were protecting HIM.

In the end it was so watered down that it was a worthless bill.

HR 3603 Truth Accountability Bill – the House voted 401-0 for the bill, with every single Republican sponsoring it, and a third of the Democrats

Then, the Vietnamese gave Kerry's family SOLE RIGHTS to negotiate real estate issues.

A book was written about Kerry "Burying the Truth" about MIA/POWs
