Ordinarily, I think everyone has a right to comment on any politician. But you are making anonymous charges while hiding under an oriental name. I suspect you are attempting to bring contempt on the Chinese by accusing an American prisoner of war for treason while under brain-washing or torture. I suspect you are a provocateur. A despicable delator. I think you are the lowest form of human scum I have run into on SI. Do you have any evidence? Cannot your masters in Moscow furnish you with some forged evidence? Why don't you find a muddy ditch to crawl into and end your worthless life. Why don't you go away and slit your throat? When I was in intelligence I was taught how to kill myself painlessly and silently, despite being bound and gagged. It's very simple. Bite your tongue, swallow your blood and die.
No offense intended.<g>

How many men were killed as a result of the military information he provided to his captors?

None, I'm sure. Any secret information possessed by a prisoner would be assumed by the military to be compromised and that would be taken into account in future operations. My understanding is that all captured prisoners provided some information under torture and that this is understood. If McCain had supplied any information which injured a fellow serviceman, I'm quite sure the Republican Establishment's jackels would be publishing the proof of that as widely as possible right now. The attempted smearing of McCain as a "traitor" reveals only the utter lack of character of the accusers.

IMO McCain showed his character best when he turned down the offer of an early release. He is one of the few politicians worthy of admiration. I'm confidant he will be the next President if the crooks and fools who run the Republican Party don't deny him the nomination.
