The lamestream media told you:
In a story unrelated to the House vote on waterboarding, Jim Davenport writing for the AP reports that presidential candidate John McCain “suffered mistreatment” as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
John McCain was sadistically tortured during his 5-1/2 years as a Vietnamese prisoner. His own published account reveals brutal day-long beatings, being kicked, scratched and bounced around in a concrete room, drugging, broken limbs and ribs, rifle butting, bayoneting in his foot, two years of solitary confinement and more.
The AP stands by its “mistreatment” characterization, and that waterboarding is torture and un-American. No one has been charged in the news media’s mistreatment of the language or deception of the public. Yet.
