Why did CBS edit out McCain playing the POW card again?
Americablog.com

As we wrote yesterday, John McCain again, personally this time, played the POW card in order to somehow justify why he can't remember how many homes he owns. McCain, his campaign, and surrogates have routinely invoked McCain's former-POW status in order to justify lots of things unrelated to national security - including recently claiming that former POW's don't "cheat," so on that basis McCain couldn't have gotten the questions in advance to the recent faith forum.

CBS decided to air McCain's most justification for why he can't remember how many homes he own - apparently it now has something to do with his wife's father being a Vet - but CBS cut the part where McCain, again, invoked his own former-POW status.

It's odd that McCain keeps using his POW status to justify not answering serious questions unrelated to national security issues, and even odder that CBS seems to be helping him. And it's not the first time CBS cheated to help McCain.
