Well, there was a smokescreen even there. McCain was not born in the Zone, he was born in a civilian hospital in Colon, Republic of Panama.
The released birth certificate of John Sidney McCain III says so, in black and white. But, that didn't stop Senat Resolution 511 from claiming that he was born in the Zone.
It's all about media soundbites, and objective truth is out the window.

These threads keep going over the same territory again and again. Again, and (alas!) not for the last time, McCain has never publicly released his BC. The “McCain birth certificate” purporting birth in Colon is of unknown provenance and probably a forgery. It was part of the Hollander nuisance lawsuit (dismissed) against McCain. According to a WaPo reporter, a McCain aide showed him McCain’s actual BC, which shows birth at the naval base hospital in Coco Solo, Canal Zone. McCain’s mother says the same thing. I see no reason to doubt them.
