>The Republican US presidential candidate John McCain was not tortured during  his captivity in North Vietnam, the chief prison guard of the jail in which he  was held has claimed.
>In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Nguyen Tien Tran  acknowledged that conditions in the prison were "tough, though not inhuman". 
>But, he added: "We never tortured McCain. On the contrary, we saved his life, curing him with extremely valuable medicines that at times were not available to  our own wounded."

They should have executed him as a war criminal and saved the medicines for deserving Vietnamese.
