Interesting and troubling update:
McCain supported Bin Laden prior to 9/11!

Firedoglake unearthed this old interview from 1998. Remember '98, Francis? Impeachment, etc...
You not only have had combat experience in Vietnam, but you were also a prisoner of war. When you look at terrorism right now, with people like Osama bin Laden, do you have any reservations about watching strikes like that?
You could say, Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted? Most of us have never heard of him before. And where there is a parallel with Vietnam is: What's plan B? What do we do next? We sent our troops into Vietnam to protect the bases. Lyndon Johnson said, Only to protect the bases. Next thing you know.... Well, we've declared to the terrorists that we're going to strike them wherever they live. That's fine. But what's next? That's where there might be some comparison.
McCain was for Bin Laden before he was against him.
Newsone, the news arm of Blackplanet.com, touched on his 'praise' of the Mujahadeen, which later became the Taliban.
