Martial you are correct that some did except early release. One that stands in my memory was a sailor who fell off his ship and was captured.
He took early release but with the consent of the highest ranking POW at this camp.
He also memorized the names of every man in the camp or who was known to have been in the camp. When released he gave that info to his authorities.

To say that's all he has to talk about and also say let him are two separate and unrelated things.
Do you work for the Obama campaign? Because you are spinning so fast, it's a wonder you can even type on your computer. You attacked him saying "so let's her him talk about it. Is he embarrassed?" That was right after you attacked him for talking about it "too much".
Nailed. Game over.
I'm sure you are quite comfy in your flip-flops.

They wanted him to agree to be released.
That way they could say, "See...in capitalist countries the sons of Admirals, etc. choose preferential treatment."
In not agreeing to it, he foiled their plan. Don't you get it?
