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...
America is guilty of much sin before God. I pray John McCain and others involved in this cover-up will repent, apologize to the American public and make restitution to the families of the POWs.

If the Kazakhs were illegally detaining US POW's in their jails why would they let American preachers from Arkansas into their prisons to preach? What do they hope to gain from holding POW's? Evidently in vain so far
Pretty "Stout" remark Guinness. Glad we have a "Record" of it.

The powers that be never contacted me, eventhough I had contacts in the country and made 10 follow up trips to the area. Rambo needs to look in Russia and Kazakhstan, not just Vietnam.
