you may want to look at this week's (oct 6) issue of the Nation; Sidney Schamberg, of The Killing Fields, has a excerpt from a new book which directly challenges McCain's record as a POW and advocate. It claims MCCain played an active and knowing role in denying evidence of POWs left behind in the 80s and 90s.
Thanks, johnieb. Because of your tip I just read it. Makes one wonder. That there are some really ugly depths in McCain's psyche seems to be a given. I would never want him in the role of my advocate - for anything.
The views expressed on this blog are solely those of the blogger and do not represent the positions of any group or organization with which he may be affiliated. As one who spent decades stuffing down his opinions and emotions, I am inclined to cut loose here, which I believe is healthy, honest, and part of the process of sanctification in the long run. Politics and spirituality mingle freely here, along with theatre reviews, photography, and passionate talk about food, literature, and the human journey. If anything written here offends you, please find other blogs to read. I am here to share, not to do battle.
