John McCain Has Some Odd Fans: His Jailers at the 'Hanoi Hilton' They Play Down Torture and Wish Him Well; Museum Visitors Want to See His Cell By YAROSLAV TROFIMOVSeptember 13, 2008; Page A1 HANOI -- As a U.S. Navy pilot, John McCain flew 23 bombing sorties over Vietnam before he was shot down and incarcerated in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" prison camp. The courage he displayed behind bars gave him the aura of a war hero, and it is still powering his electoral appeal. Yet now, even the jailers who once tortured Sen.

But somehow, a Republican lady in her 40s is exempt from this treatment.
