McCain To Go Negative in Stretch

Submitted by Pyre, Sep 23, 2008 20:46

McCain's arms were broken when his plane was shot down, he ejected, and he parachuted into a lake badly wounded. He was immediately taken to a hospital and treated, including a transfusion for blood loss, or he would not have survived. He was interviewed in that hospital several times over a period of months by visitors from several nations (e.g. France and Spain), to whom he always said he was well treated. The PDFs of these interviews can be seen at www.vietnamveteransagainstmccain.com -- well worth reading for the next time McCain plays his POW card.
