John >McCain has a long history of misconduct toward others. Although he allows >himself to be referred to as a "war hero", most people do not seem to be >aware of the fact that McCain was one of 11 former POW's who faced Courts >Martial charges for collaborating with the enemy while in captivity. >Charges were withdrawn by the government after one of the 11 committed >suicide. > >Former POW Col. Ted Guy is the officer who brought up the charges. He has >said that he agonized for a year over whether or not to do this, considering >the stress all POW's were under. The Col., who was SRO (Senior Ranking >Officer) at the Plantation prison, and who was later transferred to Hanoi >Hilton where John McCain and the others were being held, felt their acts were >so heinous, causing the severe torture and probable deaths of fellow POW's, >that in good conscience he could not fail to vindicate those who had so >suffered at the hands of these collaborators. > >Ted Sampley, a Nam Vet who served in the Special Forces, is the owner, editor >and main writer for the U.S. Veteran Dispatch out of Kinston, NC. Mr. >Sampley has published a number of hard-hitting articles exposing McCain and >his continued wrongs done to POW family members. The paper is distributed >free of charge at the Wall (the "Last Fire Base" is run by Sampley), and is >hand delivered to the offices of every congressman and senator in D.C., >including McCain's. > >Mr. Sampley has agreed to consider publishing an article about McCain's role >regarding the Dineh. I had sent him a URL for Big Mountain, but this is all >the information he has. If I may make a suggestion, it might be helpful for >any Veterans on this list to email Ted in support of his publishing such an >article. His paper is for and about Veterans and I believe your written >support would be appreciated. In addition, those on this list, veterans or >not, who have in-depth knowledge of McCain's role in the genocide of the >Dineh as well as accurate background information might also wish to e-mail >Mr. Sampley regarding any information he may need to write such an article. >Financial information revealing money links between Peabody Coal, the Utility >Company and others to McCain, his family or associates is also important. > >Ted Sampley can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Any assistance you feel led to offer is appreciated. >Respectfully, >Corky Blackburn > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a BIGMTLIST post.
