Proof that McCain's "Cross in the Dirt" story is a lie.


I hadn't watched the Saddleback non-debate, so I'm Johnny-Come-Lately to the whole "Cross in the Dirt" controversy.  At first, like Josh Marshall, I felt that the story wasn't really worth pursuing.  Until I read what McCain said at Saddleback....

In the Saddleback version, McCain is standing outside his cell for Christmas when the Vietnamese guard draws a cross in the dirt.

However, the first time I read or heard McCain's "Cross in the Dirt" story, McCain recalled being tied in painful stress positions for hours on end and one night a guard came and relieved the pressure on his bindings, drew a cross in the dirt in front of him, let him relax a bit, and then re-tightened his bindings before the next guard took over.

Am I confused here, or does anybody else recall this version of the story, too?

I'm looking for video/text evidence of more than one version of this tale.
