From US News:
McCain begins talking about his captors. They are living in Hanoi, he says, except for the Cuban, the man he called "Fidel," who would beat the American prisoners with an automobile fan belt. "He was particularly cruel," McCain says, his mood darkening almost imperceptibly. McCain says he has the CIA looking for "Fidel," and a reporter innocently asks why. "He was from a foreign country!" McCain says, his voice rising. "He had no business coming to Hanoi and killing my friends! And I'd love to bring him to justice!" And just as quickly, the storm passes. McCain adjusts his glasses a little and says, "It was a long time ago. I almost never talk about it." He looks from one reporter to another. "Really. There was a lot of humor in prison. A lot of funny stories.""See," writes Luke Oehler, "'Fidel' was a foreigner who had no right to be in North Vietnam - unlike the American foreigners who came to drop millions of tons of bombs on the country. BTW, just how many politicians have the power to task the CIA with settling their personal scores? Can ANY Senator issue such assignments? I'd honestly like to know.
"If the CIA ever does find the Cuban who tortured McCain, they'll surely take him to one of their secret prisons overseas. Considering his skills, the only question is whether he'll arrive as an inmate or a member of the staff."
