so, is mc cain a prisoner too?

i was having a conversation with my friend, and he feels that this was no slip simply to say that we citizens are gonna be prisoners (which he feels is the case as well)... but there is something more. he feels that mc cain has been drugged, and has been subject to mind-altering techniques... another 'manchurian candidate' situation, possibly? his estimation: mc cain is being told what to do. and we are in trouble.
