Primer on Torture as Conducted under Castro & the VC
Yet Fidel Castro knows full well that John McCain, along with his naval-pilot Band of Brothers — even under a form of “persuasion” that few of us can even imagine — serve as tools for nobody, except for the nation they swore to defend.
Fidel Castro knows this better than most. No doubt he heard it point-blank from the “interrogation specialists” he sent to North Vietnam in 1967-68.

The North Vietnamese sought Castroite tutelage only on torture of the defenseless, well aware of their expertise in the matter….”
