Thanks. I read that three men were released at that time by the VC, but haven't been able to find out much about it.

Thank you. That explains alot. The owner of rolling stone and US weekly is famous for distorting things to make McCain, Palin, and other Republicans look bad. I'm sure that you'll let me treat this source the same way you treat the sources that say such awful things about Obama.

Rolling Stone endorsed Obama a while ago. And Tim Dickinson contributes to HuffPo.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on some sources.

Are you disputing the facts in the article, or claiming that there are no facts in the article, or

What I'm saying is that whether or not there are any facts, which I'm not sure of, they are presented in an overtly inflammatory way. Yes, McCain came back from the war a different man, and yes he cheated on and left his wife. I'm not saying I condone that behavior, but the article is written the way it is because the author and publication has an agenda. I read it, and I read other sources that don't agree with my view. But, I also consider the source when choosing whether or not I want to believe every word of it.

I read somewhere that he has had his military records sealed for that period, and was able to get the same thing done in Vietnam a few years back.

If someone knows ANY of the candidates, I want to hear their opinions and apply my own filter.

It was because his father was an officer.
