His torture began on his first day in captivity. His first hours, really. From the moment he .......

.... fell from the sky and landed in the lake in the middle of Hanoi. His arms were broken and kept such that, to this day, he is incapable of raising his arms above his shoulders. And so it continued for five years. All manner of hell.

And yet this man is defending our torturers.

We are so much better with this man being marginalized.

Thank you for your service, John McCain.

That is all.

1. Well, there are two stories about his torture. Was he tortured or was

he treated with honor because he was the "golden child"?

This torture issue is the GOP's new global warming. I'm sick to death of the "the jury isn't in yet on whether waterboarding is torture or not" shit. Of course, it is. It's just as true as the earth's climate is changing dramatically.

2. I'll bet anything he was tortured ..... pretty much as the current wisdom holds.

3. He is damaged

I have no doubt the torture he experienced has damaged him. There's just no way this man is in charge of his mind right now.

Thank you for your service, John McCain. Now, go take care of yourself. You have $$... you deserve the best mental health providers and facilities that $$ can buy.
