- At a campaign stop on January 25, 2008 in Miami John McCain claimed that Cuban's had been involved in torturing POW's in Vietnam.
- He said "There's a person I want you to help me find when Cuba is free, and that's that Cuban that came to the prison camps of North Vietnam and tortured and killed my friends. We'll get him and bring him to justice, too."
- Fidel Castro responded in part that "His accusation against the Cuban revolutionaries ... are completely unethical," and that all the United States had achieved in Vietnam "was a candidate for the Republican Party 41 years later,"
- John McCain responded "For me to respond to Fidel Castro, who has oppressed and repressed his people and who is one of the most brutal dictators on Earth, for me to dignify any comments he might make is certainly beneath me,"
