Youngest Gitmo prisoner arrives in courtroom for trial

    US Republican Senator John McCain confessed to various war crimes after being beaten and hung up by his arms by his interrogators. He was taped and video recorded confessing to various war crimes. Now under the same logic by the supreme hypocrite John McCain would himself be held criminally liable for his own confessions to the North Vietnamese interrogators. Certainly those tapes still exist, come on News Media, show us those John McCain confessions of his own war crimes!
