North Vietnamese reporter interviews McCain:
November 09, 1967 |  Download/Read
It didn´t take Lt. Commander John Sidney McCain long to start sharing valuable military information with the enemy after he was shot down over Hanoi on October 26, 1967. Within fourteen days of his capture, McCain had granted an inappropriate interview to a North Vietnamese reporter-which was published in Havana, Cuba on November 6th-in which McCain shared military details of the preparations, tactics, and strategies of his squadron´s bombing raid on Hanoi, as well the anxieties of his fellow pilots.
Francois Chalais interviews McCain:
December 29, 1967 | Download/Read
Approximately two months later, McCain granted an interview to Francois Chalais, a "prominent" French television reporter, which was broadcast in French throughout Europe in mid January, 1968. McCain repeats much of the military information, but also reveals that he fractured his arms and right leg when he ejected from his burning aircraft and was immediately taken to a hospital, reserved for the North Vietnamese military. (McCain later contradicts this, claiming, he was not taken to the hospital for several days.) McCain concedes that he has been well treated, but admits he is not enamored of the food. By now, the North Vietnamese realize that he is the son of one of the most powerful military men in America, Admiral Edmund John McCain.

 Take a harrowing journey into the life of former super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff--the internationally reviled pariah and symbol of Washington greed and corruption. Experience his utter destruction when he is suddenly swept away by a nightmarish catastrophe, engineered by the not-so pious trio of Sen. John McCain, The Washington Post, and the Department of Justice. It should come as no surprise that in the final analysis, Abramoff was neither a saint nor The Perfect Villain.

McCain must release his POW records-without delay
The Russians ran the Hanoi Hilton, where McCain was held during the Vietnam War. Vladimir Putin has the very records McCain refuses to release here. Putin could use these records to blackmail McCain should he become President. McCain must release his POW records-without delay, rationalizations or redaction-for the sake of our national security.
The American people need to know what is in those files.
There are claims that during his captivity as a POW, John McCain granted between 20 and 32 interviews, many of which were prejudicial to the United States and provided the North Vietnamese with valuable military information.
