I seriously think mccain has this problem of projection all the bullshit he does onto his opponents. Why secret, what does mccain have to hide? What does mccain have to say about this now?

John McCain, who has harshly criticized the idea of sitting down with dictators without pre-conditions, appears to have done just that. In 1985, McCain traveled to Chile for a friendly meeting with Chile's military ruler, General Augusto Pinochet, one of the world's most notorious violators of human rights credited with killing more than 3,000 civilians and jailing tens of thousands of others.

The private meeting between McCain and dictator Pinochet has gone previously un-reported anywhere.

Oh look, my favorite right-wing dictator propped up by U.S. interests to get rid of a democratically-elected government they did not like.

Goodness gracious. The Huffington Post is turning into a real source for news. Good on them!

Just for the record, Pinochet is way worse than Ayers. :rolleyes:

Let us not forget that Pinochet was a dictator when John met with him.

Ayers was not a "terrorist" at the time Obama met him.
