The severely wounded McCain was finally thrown on the back of a truck and
hauled to the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison camp. Immediately, his captors
began to interrogate him using sadistic methods they had perfected on
hundreds of captured U.S. servicemen before him.
His interrogators demanded military information. When he refused, his
guards kicked and pounded him mercilessly.
McCain admits that three to four days after he was captured, he promised
the Vietnamese, "I'll give you military information if you will take me
to the hospital."
McCain also admits that the Vietnamese rushed him to a hospital, but
denies he was given "special medical treatment" because of his promise.
He claims he was given medical care normally unavailable to captured
Americans only because the Vietnamese learned he was the son of Admiral
John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. forces in the
Pacific including those fighting in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese figured that because POW McCain's father was of such high
military rank that he was of royalty or the governing circle in the
United States. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured
"the crown prince"and treated him as a "special prisoner."
Less than two weeks after McCain was taken to a hospital, Hanoi's press
began quoting him giving specific military information, including the
name of the aircraft carrier on which he was based, numbers of U.S.
pilots that had been lost, the number of aircraft in his flight,
information about location of rescue ships and the order of which his
attack was supposed to take place.
There is also evidence that McCain received "special" medical treatment
from a Soviet physician.
After he was out of the hospital, McCain continued cooperating with the
North Vietnamese for a period of three years. He made radio broadcasts
for the communists and met with foreign delegations, including the
Cubans. He was interviewed by at least two North Vietnamese generals one
of whom was Vietnam's national hero, General Vo Nguyen Giap.
On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service story headlined "PW Songbird Is
Pilot Son of Admiral," reported one of McCain's radio broadcasts: "Hanoi
has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of the United States
commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having
bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he
has received since being taken prisoner.
"The broadcast was beamed to American servicemen in South Vietnam as a
part of a propaganda series attempting to counter charges by U.S. Defense
Secretary Melvin Laird that American prisoners are being mistreated in
North Vietnam."
McCain says he violated the Code of Conduct only when the North
Vietnamese brutally tortured him. He further claims that he was so
distraught afterwards that he tried to commit suicide. He has never
explained why his "aid to the enemy" continued for more than three years.
Even though there are no reports in the public record from other POWs who
witnessed McCain's claims of torture and heroics or his attempted
suicide, the American media has accepted his version of events word for
word, no questions asked.

No surprise here. McCain has been a liar all his life, like 5 years ago
when he guaranteed us Iraq had WMD.
