Midknight Review -- new and revised: A disturbing account of McCain's "cover-up." We print this not be cause we do not care for McCain but because it is a distrubing story.

Midknight Review remembers Robert McNamara's claim that in our hasty retreat from Nam, "we left no POW behind." No one believed him then. And now, we learn that over the years, McCain played a role in keeping the extent of this McNamara lie a secret. --- jds.

Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg's explosive story.

The full text of this story is simply too long to post into this format. It is most disturbing but fits into the McCain M.O. McCain served our country in Nam and suffered 5 years of captivity. Years later, he and one of his captors met and shook hands, making peace after all these years. Here is an account of what happened between the two historical realities. READ THE STORY HERE >>>>>

Here is the brief review of this sad story from The First Post and A. Cockburn.

The ghosts that haunt Senator John McCain are about 600 in number and right now they are mustering for a final onslaught. McCain, one of America's foremost Republicans and President Barack Obama's opponent in 2008, is currently locked in a desperate bid for political survival in his home state of Arizona.

After 20 years of immunity from challenge from his fellow Republicans, he's now involved in a close primary battle with J.D. Hayworth, a former congressman turned radio broadcaster who sports the Tea Party label. Hayworth says McCain is a fake Republican, soft on issues like immigration. The polls have been tightening, and if McCain got bludgeoned by some new disclosure, it could finish him off.

That very disclosure is now likely to burst over the head of McCain, the former Navy pilot who was held in a North Vietnamese prison for five years, and returned to the US as a war hero. His nemesis is Sydney Schanberg, a former New York Times reporter who won a Pulitzer prize for his reporting from Cambodia that formed the basis for the Oscar-winning movie, The Killing Fields.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
