Shhh. One must never discuss such things about the P.O.W. candidate:
From the first days of McCain's captivity, he seriously violated the Military Code of Conduct, which outlines the basic responsibilitiese and obligations of members of the Armed Forces of the United States who have been captured by the enemy.You can read the entire piece here.

Arizona Senator John McCain has been making big hay with the media lately regarding the anti-Kerry "Swift Boat" ads (search)calling for the White House to denounce them. McCain, never one to shy away from the camera, carries his own baggage from Viet Nam. This two part series was originally published in my old newsletter, The Power Educator, with permission from Ted Sampley of the U.S. Veteran Dispatch, July 1995. McCain has always had his own problems with Viet Nam veterans. The government's media apparatus has basically given him a free pass.
You have probably heard a lot of this, but the piece goes into some detail. One excerpt:
John McCain the second-term Republican senator from Arizona and former Navy pilot captured and held prisoner during the Vietnam War, is a fraud, collaborator, and danger to the security of the United States because he is being black-mailed by the communist Vietnamese. He is a phony--a "rhinestone hero."
While a prisoner of war, McCain was treated as a "special prisoner," with privileges including being given his own private and affectionate nurse.
Accurate? Relevant? Your turn.
