WTF? First Amendment protects you from the govt locking you up for speaking against it....it doesn't give you the right to just say whatever the hell you want without consequences. If I was Cindy McCain, I would find some way to sue the shit out of that WH Aide and the fox news network for broadcasting that asshole for saying that Torture worked on John McCain. That's beyond disrespect-- our world is so fucked up. No decency left.
I never was a huge fan of John McCain, but he seems to be one of the few republicans left who hasn't cast all ethics to the winds. At the very least, they could respect his service to his county enough to refrain from insulting the man as he is dying. Monsters.
