He should have been a lot more skeptical of what was in it, but as much as I loathe him, it was the right thing to show it to someone. He's probably just like Podesta, who was conned into giving up his password. I don't think these guys get the way the internet works.

He did precisely what he should have done.

Also, the Daily Mail is known as the Daily Fail in the UK. It's absolute rubbish.

He is a war hero. However, It's particularly grating to see people put him on a pedestal after how James Stockdale was treated. If McCain is a hero, Stockdale was a deity.

I don't think he should resign for this particular reason. I just don't find him to be particularly trustworthy.

For example, McCain was vehemently anti the use of torture as an interrogation method by the military, then suddenly announced that the CIA shouldn't be held to the same standards. In a statement submitted for the Congressional Record, McCain explained that the CIA had the right to use 'alternative interrogation techniques' that were 'different' from those used by the US military. In other words, McCain doesn't believe in torture unless the CIA does it. Then it's ok.

He is not particularly good or bad, just another politician who is pushing his own political agenda. Certainly, I cannot tell him to resign, but he really is not as important as he thinks he is. That is kind of... sad.

It would have been irresponsible of him to sit on it. He did the right thing, turned it over, to let the intelligence people chase down the accusations.

McCain, like all the other career politicians, should have been sent to the pasture years ago.

Love ya Lil' - But you're wrong on this one.

He is not a war hero...

He's was a snitch to the North Vietnamese - and demoralized US troops by speaking propaganda for the communists. Listen to his speeches and read the words from his peers and fellow POWs.

He's also a crook-on-the-take, who was implicated in one of the biggest banking scandals in our nation's history.

He's only where he is at today by way of nepotism and dumb-ass baby-boomers from AZ. He's a war monger of the highest order.

This guy needs to become gravely ill and die right away for the good of humanity. We're talking a very, very bad seed here.
