The old adage that "there are no atheists in foxholes;" takes on special meaning in this uplifting story of 10 American POWs from the Vietnam War who suffered the same torture sessions, sleep and food deprivation, and inadequate medical treatment as their secular comrades in arms, but credit their belief in God for helping them endure the unspeakable horrors they encountered. Even today, decades removed from their experiences, the men's emotions are not far from the surface, as statements of faith are combined with tears of remembrance. Sometimes difficult to watch because of the powerful stories and the historical footage obviously taken by the North Vietnamese, Prisoners of Hope is not a maudlin Christian's creed; on the contrary, this is a moving tribute to the intangible power of faith, a professional production that illustrates how 10 ordinary men clung tenaciously to their sanity thanks to their religious convictions. Definitely recommended for both public and church libraries.

My goodness - - they are really getting desperate now.
If BO is leading by such a WIDE margin - why bother.
You really think that BO is behind this?

I am shocked at this one too. You would think that with McCain being in the spotlight like he has for so many years, if this is true, it would have surfaced before now.

I would not doubt it. He and his party would do anything to win this election.
I think that it is a bit of a stretch to accuse the DNC of finding and collaborating with some obscure former soldier who happened to be one of the many troops who may have seen McCain as a POW. Obviously, McCain is very much a big global story as the potential next leader of the free world. Obviously, his publicized experiences in Vietnam are a big part of his story. This strikes me as just a Vietnamese soldier trying to rebut claims that they were involved in inhumane torture.
