John McCain agrees with the American public, torture is Un-American
Two things really moved me at the luncheon. The first was when Dr. Kissinger
told the story of being in Hanoi negotiating the prisoner release schedule with
the North Vietnamese. As a sign of good will, they offered to release John
McCain immediately so he could fly back on Air Force Two with then Secretary of
State Kissinger. Kissinger refused just as McCain had done two plus years
earlier. No special treatment. Prisoners would be released on the schedule
established by the US Code of Military Conduct.
"But what if water-boarding some terrorist would save thousands of lives?" Same
answer. We are Americans. We don't do that.
"But what if it was the lives
of your children?" Same answer. We are Americans. We don't do that.
