MSNBC.com reports on John McCain’s recent return to where he was imprisoned as a POW in Vietnam:

During his captivity, McCain twice tried to hang himself, using his shirt as a noose, but was caught both times by the guards, who then beat him.

"I couldn’t control my despair," McCain wrote in his autobiography. "All my pride was lost, and I doubted I would ever stand up to any man again. Nothing could save me."
