It sure does seem that way, doesn't it? Thanks for posting this.

what? come on now, the chances have to be 1 in a billion that 2 different people in a time span of 40 years and on 2 separate continents drew crosses in the dirt. you know, with the cross being such an obscure symbol of christianity and all. this story has to be lifted!!!!! heh, give me a break. i bet that science teacher who burned that cross in that kids arm a few months ago lifted the idea too!

McCain also conveniently left it out of his first hand account of what happened when after he came back.

Remember this was supposedly a pivotal moment during his time there. Seems hard to believe one would not remember to mention that.

Give it a rest. Ironic that Mr. Solzhenitsyn is hardly cold in his grave, and you're using him to push agenda of the Head Red.

John McCain's account appears in the book he wrote several years ago. There are many prisoners, many guards, and many Christians in the world. There are many shoes and a lot of dirt. Why would you assume that BOTH events did not happen?

We cannot trouble the deceased to ask them directly about such things, but no matter. They are watching all of us.

Do you believe absolutely EVERYTHING you find on the net? I see nothing there that indicates this "story" has any legs. And I saw no conservative representation on that blog at all. Just a bunch of disgruntled left wing socialists making things up as they go.

Check out the Huffington Post. Maybe they will corroborate the story. That will make it real.

Wow..I'll bet all those right wing talk show dummies will make that the main topic of their 24/7 propaganda effort. They already think that he's a 'liberal'.....this proves it!

In the scheme of things, this is irrelivant!

But I have seen equally irrelivant things from the Republicans here as well.

i once heard that if had a thousand monkeys and a thousand type writers you would eventually get the complete work of Shakespeare, some times the truth is not just in one place look beyond the stupidity and and you will find the truth in your heart

he has told this same story dozens of times and nobody said anything before. you're talking about 2 prisoners that happened to have similar stories, doesn't mean much.

And Obama hasn't repeated anyone without acknowledgment? Right.

No! If your quoting the KOS as your proof you need a dose of reality...
