Psykiatri Barral: "John McCain on psykopaatti"

Espanjalaisella psykiatrilla Fernando Barralilla oli mahdollisuus vuonna 1970 keskustella silloin Pohjois-Vietnamissa sotavankeudessa ollutta McCainia. Barralin käymät pitkät keskustelut McCainin kanssa paljastivat pätevälle alan ammattilaiselle millainen ihminen John McCain todellisuudessa on. Barralin raportin mukaan McCain on psykopaatti jolla on poikkeuksellinen kyky nautti siitä miten hän on teoillaan aiheuttanut kärsimystä toisille ihmisille. Barralin näkemyksen mukaan McCainilla on tunteeton, kyyninen ihminen jolla on vaikeuksia tuntea ylipäätänsä empatiaa. McCainille vietnamilaisten siviilien pommittaminen oli eräänlaista urheilua.

“He (McCain) showed himself to be intellectually alert during the interview. From a morale point of view he is not in traumatic shock. He was able to be sarcastic, and even humorous, indicative of psychic equilibrium. From the moral and ideological point of view he showed us he is an insensitive individual without human depth,who does not show the slightest concern, who does not appear to have thought about the criminal acts he committed against a population from the absolute impunity of his airplane, and that nevertheless those people saved his life, fed him, and looked after his health and he is now healthy and strong. I believe that he has bombed densely populated places for sport. I noted that he was hardened, that he spoke of banal things as if he were at a cocktail party.”
