Twenty-five years after being released from the Vietnamese jail where he was imprisoned as a POW for five years, John McCain visited Vietnam with his son. MSNBC.com reported:

McCain was relaxed during his visit, pointing out details of the prison to his son and stopping to pose for pictures with an American couple visiting from San Francisco. But when asked how he felt toward the Vietnamese guards, he said he has not softened.

"I still bear them ill will," McCain said, "not because of what they did to me, but because of what they did to some of my friends—including killing some of them."
