A Russian newspaper claims that McCain was recruited by the KGB when he was a POW in Vietnam.
According to the report, Soviet military advisers were in the prison where McCain was held. As soon as his identity was established, he was moved to a solitary cell. Soviet advisers spent much time talking to him. Later he was brought to the prison director’s office where he reportedly signed some papers. After that he was taken to a hospital where Soviet medics worked, and the prison director never saw him again.
A former KGB official reportedly recognized him as Agent Jack Mouse, a.k.a. Mickey Mouse. He allegedly says that McCain was a trainee in a KGB espionage school until 1972.
Who’s this?
Updated on Sept 23: more on McCain & the KGB.
“As an example, the Senate Select Committee has never followed up on the explosive testimony of former KGB Maj. Gen. Oleg Kalugin, who testified, under oath, that the KGB interrogated U.S. POWs in Vietnam.
Kalugin stated that one of the POWs worked on by the KGB was a “high-ranking naval officer,” who, according to Kalugin, agreed to work with the Soviets upon his repatriation to the United States and has frequently appeared on U.S. television.
Whether this is true or not it certainly begs to be investigated and, like it or not, Sen. John McCain fits the description, and his behavior, also like it or not, raises serious questions” . By Ted Sampley
However, this blogger wishes to state categorically that even if (and that’s a big IF) a minuscule part of these claims and allegations or conjectures is true it does not disqualify the above-named person from the high office of President. In fact, it probably shows that he is well qualified to be president and is ready to lead and to take difficult but necessary decisions in our troubled times. I certainly prefer him to Barrack Obama, although I have to admit that there seems to be very little difference of substance between the two but that will be the subject of one of my next posts.

OMG ! LAWRENCE HARVEY IN THE “MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE” !
The story that I heard was that in exchange for tactical information that resulted in American flyers being shot down, McCain was rewarded with the services of 2 prostitutes in a Hanoi apartment. Which would be more in keeping with his pre and post Vietnam behavior as opposed to the saintlike behavior that he claims to have had.
Senator McCain has blocked access to North Vietnamese records of his POW internment.
IN ANY CASE, THE ONLY WAY THAT A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS IN COMBAT AND 23 UNEXCEPTIONAL COMBAT MISSIONS COULD RESULT IN WAR HERO STATUS, IS BY HAVING FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERS WHO WERE 4 STAR ADMIRALS.
