McCain is still fundamentally challenged, both intellectually and ethically. His disservice to this country far outweighs any good he has done. The man should be ashamed of himself. He is no hero, he is a pathetic sell out, a man who went to the highest bidder.
Damn it, McCain. You could've won an election if you didn't start going straight party line when election time came... It's good to see him finally getting his "Maverick" ways back.
We honor your war record. Sometime and forever later you got on the "Washington Gravy Train" and never got off! The federal reserve payroll must have been real good to you. The effort to get rid of "Big Pharma's" alternative opposition BiLL That you introduced( until protesters surrounded your office) MUST HAVE PAID YOU VERY WELL. So inVietnam you held out bravely, BUT while in the senate - YOU SOLD OUT- PERIOD!
LOLOL @ conservatards all up in arms not knowing what to do about someone in "their team" not saying the same BULLSHIT they parrot from their toolbag leaders.
John. It is time for you to hang it up, dude. You used to brag about graduating last in your class at the Academy. Now you should just shut up I think.
@bsphenom You should research human nature more. You mean an enemy combatant LIED to us??? Well certainly that has never happened before, EIT or not!!! Wake up to reality. The CIA's job is to try and find the truth between the lies. They had the lead, deny if you need!!
@bsphenom We received the first hint of a particular curier over 4 years ago by the ksm. If we didn't have the start of that lead, it would never have been followed up on. Deny it all you need to, to make yourself feel better about your government and yourself. The majority of Americans know the truth/facts.
@ TheYoungTurdz: Obviously you shot your mouth off before actually listening to what Sen. McCain said. NO actionable intel was gained from waterboarding or 'enhanced interrogation' . The intel that led to Bin Laden's interception was gained IN SPITE OF torture. You probably will accuse this old soldier odf a conspiracy with Obama to shield the 'truth' from us. You are pathetic, just like the Chic ken Hawks Bush, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld, all war criminals.
When they stop brutalizing their own people and stop beheading Americans, then I'll whine over water up the noses of terrorists who want to wipe us off the face of the earth.
Thank you Senator McCain. Your insightful and dignified comments on this matter help to resolidify the high moral ground upon which our nation was founded. You are hereby my favorite Republican.
Yes, yes, torture is bad, don't prosecute the torturers. I'll bet they don't even fire the torturers. I'll bet the torturers advance in their careers. America doesn't torture, America doesn't murder. Yeah John, drop a bomb, but don't torture. Splattering innocent kids all over their parents isn't cruel or unusual, just don't waterboard 6 guys. Bomb hundreds of thousands instead. This guy is a joke.
Well it's a little to late to speak up against it now that it's so many years in the past.Where were you and why didn't you speak up agains't it while it was going on
Saying torture works at least a "little bit" to get information is about useful as saying lining up a mother's children and shooting them one by one until she gives up information works to get information. The point is, we don't do it.
John McCain is a true american patriot , a 'real Great American' (unlike those who are called this without merit!) Republicans should be proud of him, heck I'm a die hard Union Dem. and I admire him.He speaks common sense with no smoke and mirrors! I only wish he would support labor and better quality of life for all working americans blue AND white collar. He would be in the White House today!
I'm glad to see John McCAIN found himself again, and is away from the far right thinking that is destroying American values. "Respect from the Netherlands".
Thank you Mr McCain for you honest and brave words. I salute you. Torture is wrong and it was a reason we hung Japanese soldiers after WW2. God help those that think it is correct or the only way, they are misguided or misinformed. God bless your bravery.
@tobesters According to the torture apologists a "ticking time bomb scenario" apparently means torture will get us the answer in 7 years. Better hope it's a long fuse.
All parties are responsible for 'outsourcing' the torture to other countries. They wouldn't let it happen on USA mainland, but are open for only debates that it's amoral. eh,pity
Can you blame the Bush apologists? Obama isn't going to do anything about us "torturing" people, but the Bushies are still scared. They're doing everything in their power to take the heat off of themselves.
Morals and rule of law should prevail. What have we won should we sink toward the level of our enemy? Good for Sen McCain, some in the GOP and the US.

Of course we should torture.
Of course we should lock people up without a trial
Of course we should bomb other countries which are of no threat to us.
