Next up from the New York Times: As a POW, was John McCain really tortured as severely as he claims? Did he truly resist to the best of his ability as required by UCMJ. Anonymous former fellow prisoners claim he occasionally gave them the impression he was colluding with the enemy and even signed a "confession". After talking to one disgruntled POW, who was at the Hanoi Hilton for a short time with McCain, the NYT launched an exhaustive investigation of these claims including sending four of their top journalists to Viet Nam. Their report concludes that McCain may have gotten "too close" with his captors, possibly resulting in less frequent beatings and likely allowing him to survive and fight another day. Despite concerns by their NYT editor, the now famous journalists involved in this investigation believe they really nailed this one. In fact, a copy of the"confession" addressed to the government of the United States and clearly signed by POW McCain will soon be posted on the NYT web site.
