I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander.

After I returned in 1973...I published 2 books that dealt a lot with "real torture" in Hanoi ..



Our make believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is.



As for me, put thru a mock execution because I would not respond... pistol whipped on the head...same event..



Couple of days later... hung by my feet all day.



I escaped and a couple of weeks later,



I got shot and recaptured.



Shot was OK....what happened afterwards was not.



They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost pulled my arms out of the sockets.



Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod



until my eyes were swelled shut,



and my unshot, unbroken hand a pulp.



Next day hung me by the arms...



rebroke my right wrist...



wiped out the nerves in my arms



that control the hands...



rolled my fingers up into a ball.



Only left the slightest movement



of my L forefinger.



So I started answering



with some incredible lies..



Sent me to Hanoi



strapped to a barrel of gas



in the back of a truck.



Hanoi..



on my knees.....



rope trick again..



Beaten by a big fool.



Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel.



Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo.



Really bad beating



for refusing to condemn



Lyndon Johnson.



Several more kneeling events.



I could see my knee bone



thru kneeling holes.



There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo. I was the Senior

Officer of a large building because of escape...they started a mass

torture of all commanders.



I think it was July 7, 1969...they started beating me with a car fan

belt. In first 2 days I took over 300 strokes...then stopped counting

because I never thought I would live thru it.



They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent

part in the escape. This went on for at least 3 days. On my knees....

fan belting....cut open my scrotum with fan belt stroke. opened up

both knee holes again. My fanny looked like hamburger....I could not

lie on my back.



They tortured me into admitting



that I was in on the escape...



and that my 2 room-mates knew about it.



The next day I denied the lie.



They commenced torturing me again



with 3- 6- or 9 strokes of the fan belt



every day from about July 11 or 12th..



to 14 October 1969.



I continued to refuse to lie



about my roommates again.



Now, the point of this



is that our make-believe president



has declared to the world



that we (U.S...) are a bunch of torturers...



Thus it will be OK to torture us



next time when they catch us...



because that is what the U.S. does.



Our make-believe president



is a know nothing fool



who thinks that pouring a little water



on some one's face,



or hanging a pair of women's pants



over an Arabs head is TORTURE.



He is a meathead!!!



I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness,



who was also in my squadron, in jail...



as was John McCain...



and we agree that McCain does not speak



for the POW group when he claims



that Al Gharib was torture...



or that "water boarding" is torture.



Our president and those fools around him



who keep bad mouthing our great country



are a disgrace to the United States .



Please pass this info on to Sean Hannity.



He is free to use it to point out



the stupidity of the claims



that water boarding...



which has no after effect...



is torture.



If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC...



hurrah for the guy who poured the water.
