Was John McCain actually tortured?

Question

This is not really a political question and I am not for Obama or McCain or anyone else. I am just curious if McCain was actually tortured and if there is any actual evidence of it?

Please do not post pro McCain propaganda or for that matter pro anything propaganda, just evidence and factual info about McCain being tortured or not!

Answer 1

He was a POW, what do you think?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

If you pay close attention, you'll never see him raise his arms above his head. This is apparently the result of shoulder injuries from a standard torture technique in which the hands are bound behind the small of the back, and then the body is raised off the floor using the bound hands as the fulcrum, allowing the body weight to act as the torture device.

Answer 4

No.  He was aggressively interrogated.

Answer 5

If you need some kind of evidence, look at McCain's arms.  Do you think he just doesn't raise them past a certain height because he doesn't feel like it?  That people would even ask something like that makes them look like monsters.

Answer 6

His arms and shoulders are crippled to this day from being broken by the Viet Cong. Do you need to see the Xrays?

Answer 7

He claims he was.  His jailer claims they used to drink tea together and discuss politics, and nobody got tortured.

Who knows, really.  Truth is the first casualty of war they say.

Remember what happened with Pat Tillman and that Pvt. Lynch lady?

When everybody up to the highest authorities on both sides is willing to spread BS in their respective causes, what are your chances of knowing anything for sure.

And now, the real p**p:

Top Cop Says McCain Was Never Tortured

Former Vietnam vet with top secret clearance -

Republican frontrunner is "a lying skunk"

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet

A former Vietnam veteran with top secret clearance says he has

personally spoken to numerous POW's who dispute John McCain's claim

that he refused to provide information after he was captured and

tortured in Hanoi, saying that in fact McCain's code-name was

"Songbird" because of his willingness to tell all to avoid torture.

Jack McLamb served nine years in secret operations in Cambodia and

other nations before going on to become one of the most highly

decorated police officer's in Phoenix history, winning police officer

of the year twice before taking a role as a hostage negotiator for the

FBI.

"I know a lot of Vietnam veterans and a few POW's and all the POW's

that I've talked to over the years say that John McCain is a lying

skunk," McLamb told the Alex Jones Show. "He never was tortured - they

were there in the camp with him and then when he came in....he

immediately started spilling his guts about everything because he

didn't want to get tortured," said McLamb, contradicting the official

story that McCain only offered his name, rank, serial number, and date

of birth.

"The Vietnamese Communists called him the Songbird, that's his code

name, Songbird McCain, because he just came into the camp singing and

telling them everything they wanted to know," said McLamb.

McLamb said the POW's told him that McCain had sustained two broken

arms and a leg injury from not pulling his arms in when he bailed out

of his A-4 Skyhawk that was shot down over the Truc Bach Lake in

Hanoi.

The POW's said that McCain made 32 propaganda videos for the communist

North Vietnamese in which he denounced America for what they were

doing in Vietnam.

"They have these sealed now, our government has these sealed, we can't

get to it, they have it classified," said McLamb, adding that in truth

"the POW's hate John McCain."

-------------------

It is commonly accepted that McCain was treated better than other

POW's and afforded medical care immediately after the North Vietnamese

discovered that his father was a top admiral.

Several Vietnam veterans groups do solely exist to expose McCain's

abandonment of veteran's interests as well as his lies about being

tortured, including Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain and U.S.

Veteran Dispatch.

Doubts over McCain's alleged war hero status and his support to

curtail efforts to look for missing POW's contributed to torpedoing

his presidential campaign in 2000 and those same questions will

undoubtedly surface again should the Senator win the Republican

nomination.
