An exaggerated story

Reading Alternet, I see that perhaps Senator John McCain exaggerated his treatment as a POW, and I wonder, "Do we all remember pain more severely, joy more exuberantly and the stillness of just being as boredom?"

It appears that Phillip Butler remembers the Senator's experience as less harsh, and that I remember some of my own life experiences with a different eye and ear than those around me.

How can we balance truth, from not fiction, but from a more objective position?
