I can't support him either.

The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides

But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.

BINGO! This info keeps eluding me, this time I’m going to create a file. There’s much more than meets the eye with this man.

Somebody knows the truth. I expect some sort of SwiftPOW group to come forward if McCain gets the nomination. He’ll be John Kerryed in no time. He’s damaged goods on so many fronts I can’t believe anyone would vote for him. This vet certainly won’t.
