McCain and the POW Cover-Up.......

McCain and the POW Cover-Up.......

or should we say McCon-Job

The “war hero” candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.

 

By Sydney SchanbergJuly 1, 2010     

Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.
* * *
John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.
Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain’s role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain’s military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.
The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington—and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that “men were left behind.” This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number—the documents indicate probably hundreds—of the U.S. prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.
Mass of Evidence
The Pentagon has been withholding significant information from POW families for years. What’s more, the Pentagon’s POW/MIA operation had been publicly shamed by internal whistleblowers and POW families for holding back documents as part of a policy of “debunking” POW intelligence even when the information was obviously credible.

My husband said McCain was and is a Manchurian Canidate.. He should have known; He was a Colonel in SPECIAL OPS involving the Cambodian Oil Sands. He was murdered by this group of S.O.B's. Mrs. Col.

Amen - and it can't happen soon enough. Many of us had family members and friends left behind. We have been told many stories of what went on in Nam by those who were fortunate enough to make a return trip home. The stories about McCain and his treason, along with Jane Fonda, are not anything new. These have been around since the war ended, and yet Americans look up to McCain - and seemingly 'elect' and 're-elect' this traitor (wonder whether his 'elections wins' are actually vote fraud like in other similar situations). WHEN are Americans going to have had ENOUGH and arrest these traitors - starting at the top and working through and down the traitor-chain????? The ones smart and informed enough about these people need to get moving quickly while they still can. Let the dumb ones continue in their folly. It is not worth the time or effort any more to attempt to educate those too stupid to 'get it.' They have been spoon fed plenty of information for a very long time. We who are informed are the dumb ones if we don't get these very serious affairs of this nation taken care of quickly. Enough is enough.
