“McCain’s BC was doctored to make it appear that he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.”
Oh Lord. How can I start/fight this. I fractured my left elbow a couple of weeks ago, and I just want to go to bed now. It does not hurt. I am just tired…maybe it’s stress.
Anyway, McCain’s “birth certificate” shown on FR was his Certificate of Live Birth …It was not “doctored.” It told the truth. It is a legitimate CoLB. Unlike Obama’s, McCains’s CoLB was truthful and showed he was born in Colon, Republic of Panama and not the CZ. (This still would not have made him eligible to run for president.)
A few days later, I went to Panama’s official public registry to dig up his official birth record in Colon. The staff and I combed the computers, official written documents before, during, and after the year his birth and nothing.
Why did nothing show up? Because it is up to a parent to take the child’s birth certificate to the national registry and record it. If not, there is no “public” record of it in RP. The McCain’s never did that. They left without recording his birth in Panama. BUT, they were required to show his official Panamanian birth certificate to the Canal Zone which showed he was born in Colon, Republic of Panama. If not produced, he would never have received his CoLB from the CZ.
If am ever in Colon, I will go directly to the Amador Guerrero Hospital where he was born and ask for a copy of his BC. But I don’t plan a trip to Colon soon. It is a dangerous town. Maybe a lawyer friend of mind can pull some strings and call in some favors, but I am not going to plan on it.

That's now what McCain's lawyers said. They say it's a fake and displute its authenticity.
McCain also contradicts the information the fake BC. McCain maintains that he was born on the Coco Solo naval base, not in the city of Colon.
FYI, McCain never showed the fake BC to anyone. It was submitted into evidence by someone who was suing to stop McCain from getting on the ballot in the GOP primary.
Incidentally, that case was dismissed for lack of standing. Sound familiar?
The local English language paper said he was born in the Submarine Base. That was in the zone. But as you said, it doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter because he would have been eligible even if born in Colon. Because of his father's status as a serving member of the US military. That being the reason he was not born in the US proper. It's a matter of juridiction, more than physical location.
But I think the doctored (read FAKE) abstract and long form certificates were intended to weaken him even farther than he managed on his own.
How do you explain that the Panama American reported his birth, in the society section, as being on the Submarine base in the hospital there? It’s surely not in Colon. I think both the abstract and the long form posted on line were fake. We know that one was produced against him in a lawsuite, and not by him or directly from the Panamanian authorities.
