- Comment: Recreated from an article deleted six years ago. I would like this to run on May 12, the tenth anniversary of Sampley's death, as the hooks suggest. I know I often criticize hooks like the main one, because it's usually more about the person being quoted, but in this case I think it's warranted as McCain did not say that sort of thing lightly; he was known to be forgiving to most of his adversaries (even, as Sampley noted in response, his torturers in Vietnam)
