Then argue the issues and don't equate EITs with what happened to people in the Hanoi Hilton. McInerney is an unwashed anus and should be ashamed.
It seems clear to me that McInerney was
not equating EITs with the really bad stuff practiced in Hanoi. McInerney was obviously citing McCain as proof (by McCain's own admission) that the really bad stuff (like the NVA used)
does work. In other words, he
was "arguing the issues," oddly enough. He was arguing for sanity, for common sense, in the interests of national security.
Of course, McInerney made his argument in a way that
was ultimately shaming McCain. Actually, I would have been thoroughly appalled by such a remark (citing McCain's nasty nickname of "Songbird John")...until very, very recently...
....having recently seen really serious evidence on alt.right sites that McCain is not just a poor guy that the Commies broke and not just a RINO. I am now truly dismayed to consider the possibility, at least, that McCain is
one of the very worst traitors in America. Maybe none of the allegations are true; on the other hand, maybe they are true. If that putative evidence becomes public, we might all conclude that McInerney's snarky remark was a drastic understatement of the contempt John McCain has earned from a lot of senior military officers.
(By the way, I confess that I was disgusted by Trump's mockery of McCain during the GOP primary. I thought it was way over the top. I still do think it was way over the top
at that time. But if McCain is ever shown to be as bad as some sources are saying he is, then we will all stand in line at his grave to disgrace his memory. Sarah Palin--who once thought McCain was a swell guy--could very well ask to be at the front of the line.)
