Read the site I posted earlier. Along with that, you should research a bit before you post stuff. You will find that the claim made by Hopper was wrong.

Oh wait, you said you already read that. How about this one?

There you go again, making claims with nothing to back them up. The link you provided does nothing to disprove what Hopper said.

And you have failed to provide anything other than a man who is angry that he lost his son. Who was not there with McCain, and can only rely on sketchy second hand accounts, from others that were not actually there with him every hour of the day.

“We were all tortured and we wrote confessions under the pressure of torture,” said Swindle, who was a cellmate with McCain and is active in his campaign. “John McCain never collaborated with the enemy. He, like every one of us, submitted to severe torture. John McCain did nothing dishonorable. He was heroic.”

At one point, McCain broke down and signed a confession. But Timberg, the biographer, said McCain deliberately used misspellings, grammatical errors and Communist jargon to show he was writing under duress: “I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate. I almost died, and the Vietnamese people saved my life . . . ”

Day, a Medal of Honor winner who also is supporting McCain’s campaign, said the flyer is “the most outrageous f------ lie I’ve ever heard.”
