McCain terrorist ties — John Singlaub

The Miami Herald profiles former Maj. Gen. Singlaub’s U.S. Council for World Freedom, his and its connection to Central American death squads, and John McCain’s connection to Singlaub’s work.

McCain has in the past claimed he resigned ffom the council’s board in 1985, both not so fast, there:

A news article and two documents tie McCain to the council in 1985, a year after he says he resigned. The group's Internal Revenue Service filing in 1985, covering the previous year, lists McCain as a member of the council's advisory board. In October 1985, a States News Service report placed McCain, Rep. Tom Loeffler, R-Texas, and an Arizona congressman at a Washington awards ceremony staged by the council. …

The dates on the resignation letters in 1984 and May 1986 coincided with McCain election campaigns.

There’s plenty of “palling around with terrorists” there, Sen. Schmuck Talk Express™.
