Sydney Schanberg, Author of "The Killing Fields," Reports on the Real John McCain
Reporter Sydney Schanberg wrote "The Killing Fields" which chronicled the tumultuous time when American military and journalists fled Vietnam as well as the expereinces of his translator/photographer Dith Pran. The non-fiction book won the Pulitzer prize, the awe-inspiring movie adaptation won many Motion Picture Academy awards. I mention this to jog memories about who Sydney Schanberg is and his credentials. A couple of days ago Mr. Schanberg addressed John McCain's record as a POW as well as Senator Mccain's adamant refusal to assist the families of Vietnam MIAs:

McCain and friends have ties to Kissinger's Asia Pacific company, which explains why Kissinger lied (what, Kissinger lie?) after the debate to support his corporatist Senate stooge.
