McCain의 다른 전쟁 사기

질문에의 이 이를 악무는 모든 매체의 사이에 McCain가 그의 blondie 로비스트를 위한 특별한 호의를 했다는 것을,  1990 년대에 있는 다량 마취제 도둑질을 위한 그의 아내의 불공정한 거래는 잊혀졌었다.

Anacostia에서 가난한 흑인 여성이 투입된 Cindy McCain가 그녀의 생활의 내구를 위한 형무소에, 흑인 여성 보내질지도 모른 범죄를 행한 경우에.

John McCain has never shown any courage on the drug war.  As long as people like his wife don’t need to fear jail time for crimes, there is no reason to reform the law to cease the persecution of other Americans.  

Here’s an excerpt on the case from an article I did for Playboy in 1997. (Full text of the piece, which details how many congressmen’s kin escaped hard time for drug offenses, is here).

* Cindy McCain, the wife of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), admitted stealing Percocet and Vicodin from the American Voluntary Medical Team, an organization that aids Third World countries. Percocet and Vicodin are schedule 2 drugs, in the same legal category as opium. Each pill theft carries a penalty of one year in prison and a monetary fine. McCain stole the pills over several years. She became addicted to the drugs after undergoing back surgery. 

    But rather than face prosecution, McCain was allowed to enter a pretrial diversion program and escaped with no blemish on her record. McCain did suffer from the incident, though: Shortly after the scandal broke, a Variety Club of Arizona ceremony at which she was to receive a humanitarian of the year award for her work with the medical team was canceled because of poor ticket sales.
