The former director of the infamous Hỏa Lò Prison, which is now a museum, has joined the string of people who are paying tribute to Sen. John McCain. Retired Col. Trần Trọng Duyệt, who ran the “Hanoi Hilton” where McCain was imprisoned as a prisoner of war for five-and-a-half years, says McCain’s strong views earned him his admiration. “I had a lot of time meeting him when he was kept in the prison,” he told Việt Nam News. “At that time I liked him personally for his toughness and strong stance.”
