Video of McCain's POW Release



STOCKHOLM (AP)  -- Access" value="always">

A previously unseen film clip purportedly showing the release of Vietnam POW John McCain to the U.S. military in Hanoi in 1973 has been released in Sweden.
  
A former reporter for Swedish broadcaster SVT says he found the video in the network's archives.
  
SVT posted the edited 39-second clip on its Web site today. It shows McCain stepping off a bus with other prisoners. He has a pronounced limp but isn't using crutches.
  
It then shows McCain standing in a lineup when his name is called. He walks up to salute and shake hands with U.S. military officers. The last part of the clip shows a U.S. Air Force jet taxiing on a runway.
  
The SVT reporter says the footage was filmed in Hanoi on March 14th, 1973. He says it was shot by a Vietnamese photographer whom he had contracted to film the release of U.S. POWs.
