McCain's Vietnam Captor Speaks: A Conversation With Tran Trong Duyet

In 1967, US presidential candidate John McCain's plane was shot down on a bombing mission over North Vietnam.

BBC reporter Andrew Harding tracked down the man who held him captive in a Hanoi jail for five years.

"McCain is my friend," said 75-year-old Tran Trong Duyet. "If I was American, I would vote for him."

So, McCain is being endorsed by terrorists!

[markkraft]

Well, torturers really...

Sort of appropriate, as when push comes to shove, John McCain supported torture... and now, unsurprisingly, his torturer supports him!

" We have waited for a long time my brothers , now IT BEGINS "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Cue evil sounding music)

Now we know why McCain's mother keeps showing him the Queen of Hearts card . LOL

[arglebargle]

I think it was diamonds. ;)

[NYC07]

I stand corrected, your right, it's been a few years since I saw the movie.

[mindact]

Does that smell like the Mchurian Candidate to you? Hmmmm

[XME]

My thoughts exactly!

[MissT]

Geez! Does his captor know something about McC that we don't?

[Meggie]

all his weak spots and triggers. will sell info to highest bidder to control USA.

[TheEmptinessOfTruthiness]

I'm sure the neo's know exactly where to plug in the puppet strings already.

McCain has captured the critical retired North Vietnamese interrogator vote.

[kvet]

Does that make John McLame a Communist ?.....

[kvet]

Typical.....A Communist Torturer Endorsing McLame.....Does Hamas Have Johnnys Back Too ?

[markkraft]

Do any of you know how very, very anti-communist the Vietnamese-American community is?! I once saw them pretty much run a communist-sympathizer within their local community out of our town.

Getting this commie commander's endorsement is the *LAST* thing McCain should want the growing Vietnamese community to hear in places like Santa Clara county, parts of Southern California, areas along the Texas coast, etc.

[TheEmptinessOfTruthiness]

Heh heh. Good point.

Maybe the guy's not done torturing him yet.

[MikeMidCity]

Of course he'd vote for McCain. He is a pro tourturer

[chrisbee]

LMAO

Now, this is a direct endorsement from someone McCain had personal contact with, unlike the Hamas endorsement for Obama, which was later withdrawn, after Obama spoke at the AIPAC conference.

[PAposter]

Yeah, that captivity must have been torture?!

[xujojo]

I heard Bin Laden would also vote for Johnny, he isn't ready for change either

[oafishcad]

Manchurian Candidate

[PAposter]

Exactly, while they try to convince us that it's the opponent, too bad 90% of the country is on to them.

[Raymondf]

Kudos to Huff Po for running this. Helps McCain alot. That comes from a Neo-Con.

[revko]

I guess this guy still hates America even this long after the war.

[Jamchinadian]

Too funny; LMAO!

[marykins123]

Why is this important? Can the guy actually vote? Give me a break - just some more FREE media blitz for McSame.
