        For us it may be funny, but that lie stiil was a part of atrocity propaganda, so if history is written by the victors then we should write it in a way that is beneficial to us, that is, that he wasnt tortured

      McCain was not tortured, PoW guard claims

      The Republican US presidential candidate John McCain was not tortured during his captivity in North Vietnam, the chief prison guard of the jail in which he was held has claimed.

      In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Nguyen Tien Tran acknowledged that conditions in the prison were "tough, though not inhuman". But, he added: "We never tortured McCain. On the contrary, we saved his life, curing him with extremely valuable medicines that at times were not available to our own wounded."

        Imagine sitting on your hand before masturbating for so long you suffer nerve damage, then you have to spend the next 50 years pretending it was because of torture.
