The POW issue has long been a thorn in the side of government, a problem politicians keep pushing under the rug. Despite credible evidence soldiers were left behind and are still living in political prison camps in North Korea and Vietnam, high-powered, two-faced Senators, like John Kerry and John McCain, are the main culprits for keeping the truth from the American people.

However, on Oct. 28, Rep. Ron Paul (R- Tex.) is holding a press conference to revive the issue, officially sending to each legislator on Capital Hill a copy of an historic video called “Missing, Presumed Dead: The Search for American POW’s,” in an attempt to open new hearings, being introduced under House Resolution 123.

The following story is about Bob Dumas, whose brother, Roger, may still be alive in a North Korea prison camp after more than 50 years and his nephew, Bill Dumas, the writer and producer of the historic POW video that finally tells the true story.

Most people would fight through hell and high water to find a missing loved one. Bob Dumas is no different.

For 55 long years, he has been looking for his younger brother, Roger, after he was taken prisoner during the Korean War. But despite traveling to the ends of the earth and trying to uncover every small stone imaginable, his brother’s whereabouts still remain a mystery.

However, Dumas says, a mystery which could have easily been solved decades ago if it wasn’t for the criminal activity and outright lies of the United States government by and through many two-faced, high ranking politicians and military officers still lurking on Capital Hill today.

Two of the major corrupt politicians he wants to expose as liars and two-faced traitors, in what he calls the “biggest military cover-up in the history of our country,” are former Presidential candidate and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a former Vietnam POW declared a national hero.

“He’s no hero,” said Dumas, 74, in an extended conversation this week from his Connecticut home. “He’s anything but a hero. Ask why he had the Senate, through Kerry’s influence, seal all his POW records in Vietnam? He had these records sealed for life and is hiding the true story of how he sided with the North Vietnamese to save his own skin.”

McCain sells his fellow POW brothers down the river

Even though the true story of McCain’s captivity may never be known, backing up Dumas’ harsh criticism is a 1992 article written by Ted Sampley in the U.S. Veteran Dispatch entitled “John McCain: The Manchurian Candidate,” a scathing article strongly criticizing McCain’s credibility and truthfulness.

Sampley writes: “What, therefore, motivates a John McCain to attack as a pit bull everyone and anyone who has the opinion that men are still alive in the very same captivity that he himself once experienced? Mr. McCain disguises his attacks on the POW/MIA by claiming he is on the committee to ask "the tough questions" to grill and berate in order to get to the truth. What motivates the man, who at the same time has shown a sensitive, almost patronizing approach to U.S. government officials who have lied to the committee?”

Further Sampley’s article gives eye-witness accounts, information McCain has since classified, showing how the former Navy fighter pilot’s own story told to the American people is filled with holes and many inconsistencies.

“After being periodically slapped around for "three or four days" by his captors who wanted military information from him, which McCain claims he refused to give, providing only his name, rank and serial number, he realized he was in critical shape and called for an officer. He told the officer, ‘O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.’

“Regardless of the reasons, the offer to give "military information" in exchange for better treatment was a violation of the military Code of Conduct and Collaboration No. l.

“The doctor, according to McCain, said about taking him to the hospital, ‘It's too late.’ At that point, McCain knew he was in big trouble. According to information obtained by the U.S. VETERAN, the flier in desperation invoked the name of his famous father, Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. Forces in the Pacific.

“And that was a violation of the Code of Conduct and Collaboration No. 2.

“McCain admits that because of the Vietnamese having the knowledge of who his father was, he thus survived because they rushed him to the hospital. The Vietnamese figured that because POW McCain's father was of such high military rank that he was of royalty or the governing circle. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured "the crown prince."

“At the hospital his wounds were treated. He readily admits that other U.S. prisoners with similar wounds were left to die, pointing out "There were hardly any amputees among the prisoners who came back because the North Vietnamese just would not give medical treatment to someone who was badly injured. They weren't going to waste their time.

"McCain has failed to mention in public what he has confided to another U.S. prisoner privately, that since the Vietnamese felt they had in their hands such a ‘special prisoner’, a propaganda bonanza, a Soviet surgeon was called in to treat him.”

And to add more fuel to the McCain controversy, according to Dumas, in the forefront of the POW issue for over a half century, and several Vietnam POW’s like retired Navy captain, Eugene “Red” McDaniel, McCain was given special treatment since he told the North Vietnamese he was the son of Admiral John McCain II, who became commander-in chief pf the Pacific forces in 1968 and who actually ordered the bombing of Hanoi while his son was in prison.

However, instead of coming to McDaniel’s side, a long time activist in keeping the POW/MIA issue alive in the halls of Congress, McCain has openly called McDaniel a “fraud and dishonorable man who preys upon families still unaccounted for from the war.”

Although McDaniel was unavailable for comment, Dumas said he told him that he was aware of many propaganda anti-American broadcasts made by McCain, while in captivity from 1967-73, in exchange for special treatment and basically to “save his own hide” when many other POW’s received no medical care and were left to die.

Even though it’s understandable a man trying to save his life may compromise his ethics, the problem with McCain is that he’s withheld truth about his POW record and, without question, has not come the aide of those honorable veterans trying to get at the truth behind the POW scandal.

“If it ever becomes known and people find out the real truth about McCain, Kerry and the others, there will be political turmoil,” said Dumas
