"The second occurred two years later. McCain had completed flight training and was deployed to the Mediterranean. "He was flying low one day when he decided to have some fun," Leahy wrote. He dropped so low that he knocked down power lines over southern Spain, cutting off electricity in the area. McCain later referred to his own behavior as "daredevil clowning" and said he had created "a small international incident."

"The third came in 1965. McCain, stationed at Norfolk, flew solo in a Navy trainer plane to the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia. On the way back his engine quit. McCain ejected, landed safely and the plane crashed into a wooded area.

"Leahy wrote that McCain had a "desultory performance" in the air. On the face of it, the incident in Spain stands out as an example of rash, poor judgment. The other two also raise questions. How much was a problem with the equipment, how much was pilot error? What about McCain's responses: What do they tell us about his temperament?"

As Klein wrote in his article:"McCain owes it to the country to release his complete naval records so that American voters can see his documented history and make an informed decision." 

And as I wrote in June:   "The American people have this current, corrupt president in office because justifiable questions either were not asked, followed up on, answers not demanded, and blatant lies and cover-ups accepted during the 2000 and 2004 campaigns.  We don't need a repetition with McHypocrite, Bush's clone.  Seven years of a rotten, dishonest Dubya administration is more than enough.
