The ex-navy pilot and prisoner of war earlier said he has still not forgiven his captors for killing and torturing fellow prisoners of war. Vietnam denied McCain's torture allegations earlier this year. He also criticized what he said was increasing corruption in the country and an unwillingness on the part of some officials to improve U.S.-Vietnamese ties. There's a difference in the attitude here of the government towards foreign investment, towards a trade agreement. I'm a bit concerned about both the policies and attitudes, and the increase in corruption in this country.
Truth is truth.
History is history. I always tell the truth. I've fought against communism all my life. McCain added that he was not concerned about Vietnam's response. The former pilot was held captive there after his A- 4 plane was shot down while on a bombing run on the North Vietnamese capital.
