BBC’s interview with John McCain’s torturer from Vietnam.
John McCain is my “friend” says ex-torturer from “Hanoi Hilton.” Pay attention how BBC is trying to push the “McCain is lying” line.
McCain has since described enduring months of solitary confinement and systematic torture which drove him to try to kill himself.
“I don’t know how he’d react if he met me again,” said Mr Duyet, flicking through old black and white photographs of himself and his American prisoners at Hua Lo.
“But I can confirm to you that we never tortured him. We never tortured any prisoners.”
Yeah, right you never did, you kept them as your very welcomed “guests”. Next, in case if you did not get it BBC is trying to chew it up for you and asks again, just to make sure that you get the point.
So is Mr Duyet implying that that Senator McCain lied about his treatment at the Hanoi Hilton?
“He did not tell the truth,” he says.
“But I can somehow sympathise with him. He lies to American voters in order to get their support for his presidential election.”
But Mr Duyet’s propaganda-perfect version of events is impossible to verify – and should be treated with caution in a country where the Communist authorities still keep a tight control over the media.
