I'm not a McCain supporter, but I have to respond to the part about him 'breaking down' and offering a confession.

i agree that he shouldnt be slandered for his actions in vietnam. the article did state that most POW did give confessions. and i dont think anyone could rightly argue that his actions weren't heroic. but i do think the article did gave a bit of insight about his character

i'm not a fan of smear tactics. i do believe that people can learn and change, and that stories are usually not complete.

but part of me wonders: will the people that want to use Obama's association with Ayers to disqualify him have the same reaction to this piece? or will they find a way to excuse this but still hold Obama to a different standard?

-agreed. i even hesitated to post this article because i know how easily some people can be swayed. i really would not have wanted someone to end up voting for obama based on dramesi's opinion. he is certainly not the be all, end all of character judgement. but i thought his opinion was at least worth mentioning for the

I'm going to guess that's exactly what they'll do.

I've been wondering about this. Does anyone know of a (legitimate, like US government records) source? I mean the "sent home early" part. I've NEVER heard of that happening in the case of POWs, except for medical or political reasons (like an exchange of prisoners). Why would the enemy release someone who could cause great damage to their war effort?

They wanted to release him early for propaganda effect and because his father was an admiral.
