Report: McCain Suppressed Info on Fellow Vietnam POWs Left Behind

We speak to Pulitzer-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg about how the “war hero” candidate Sen. John McCain buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam. Writing for The Nation magazine, Schanberg reveals that McCain “worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home.” [includes rush transcript]

  • The book: "An Enormous Crime" explains all of this very well. The only disagreement I have with this gentleman is that we secretly agreed to the over 1 billion re building amount and then watergate happened and there was no chance of getting funding for it ever passing.

  • over 600 were left behind this was covered up by nixon, and continued to be covered up by other presidents, they could have came home if the U.S. would have paid a ransom. This has been investigated and now proven to be facts.

  • r.i.p all those pows who got left behind so mccain and kerry could pursue careers.

  • It`s better to bomb all communist in the world with our entire Nuclear Arsenal. God forsaken Vietnam.....Die all communist.

  • and FYI...most all the pows broke down and gave up some info. their torture was so great they all broke down to various degrees and unwillingly cooperated. they were not prepared for this experience. they all acted under a military leadership while pows and were ordered to resist or give up little as possible. mr Schanberg has no proof of his claims & even states so. i am not a fan of JM btw.

  • so what, politicians & governments lie. Okay McCain was a pow he was tortured why be biased when faced with hard facts about his experience.

  • this is gut wrenching.

  • no,mccain don't gvete off that easy. if he's gonna use the pow story to boost his campaign then anceint hostiry is gonna be used in this case too.

  • So what!

  • ancient history
