Mentally, McCain apparently still lives in the Cold War.
In recent comments about Cuba, McCain spoke of "communist prisons," saying relations with the island nation could not be improved until they were opened. He echoed the fact that he had spent five and a half years in one.
Do you know which country imprisons the highest portion of its population in the entire world?
Why, it's the good old USA.
And, of course, the CIA runs an international gulag, illegally transporting and torturing thousands.
And we have the International disgrace of Guantanamo.
By the way, McCain spent five and a half years in prison in Vietnam for the act of bombing civilians. He was bombing civilians around Hanoi at the time he was shot down.
Doesn't actually sound dark or unfair to me.
Now, add the fact that the US holocaust in Vietnam (about 3 million slaughtered) was carried on without so much as the nicety of a declaration of war.
Under international law, bombing civilians in an undeclared war is, quite simply, a war crime.
