John McCain Orders Arrest Of Iraq War Veterans
John McCain pretends to be a man of the people and a proud veteran, but when eight members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) waited patiently outside his office, hoping the Arizona Senator would spend a few minutes listening to their concerns, McCain refused to see them and had them arrested. “We wanted to speak to Senator McCain vet-to-vet,”explained Matt Howard, co-director of IVAW and a Marine Corps helicopter mechanic who served two tours of duty in Iraq. Howard and eight other Iraqi war veterans went to McCain’s office and waited patiently to see him for several hours.
