Please list some of the allegations regarding McCain's imprisonment in Viet Nam

Right now, this short article makes the statement The group makes controversial allegations against Senator John McCain concerning his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam with hardly a hint of what they are (perhaps about MIAs?).

I think it would make the article much more informative to list these allegations. If there are too many allegations, the most important few could be listed.

As it stands, one cannot tell whether the allegations are that

he was overbearing and improper in his handling of Dolores Alfond and others concerned with the fate of the MIAs left forgotten --- or abandoned --- in Viet Nam at the end of the war, or
he was taping propaganda in exchange for better treatment (a Tokyo Rose, so to speak) or
he was bombing civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and sanitation (sewage treatment) equipment right before his capture

All of these have been alleged by various groups; see, for example http://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-when-tokyo-rose-ran-for-president/?highlight=mccain+%22tokyo+rose%22

Naturally none of this is to contend that the allegations are non-controversial, or even that all or true, but it would be useful to know which allegations the Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain are making, whether in the list above or something completely different (e.g., that he was captured too easily?).
