...refusal of Senator John McCain to answer many of the questions asked of him, the emphasis TIME placed on this, rather than on his answers on the issues, is another example of the media's liberal bias [Sept. 8]. I was disappointed that the vast majority of your interview with McCain was devoted to his "prickly" attitude, when the full version of the interview on TIME.com had much more substance.

Though I differ with Senator McCain on specific issues, I've always admired his maverick spirit and straight-talk approach to the press. But his interview with TIME raises grave concerns. McCain could have defused legitimate questions about his campaign's new discipline in any number of ways, but to put reporters from a major newsmagazine in the deep freeze betrays a fundamental lack of self-control, not to mention candor. Do we really want to elect such a mercurial individual as our Commander in Chief? Owen Prell, MILL VALLEY, CALIF...
Your special issue on the Republicans bent over backward to present McCain as an honorable man, but the transcript of his bizarre interview, in which McCain refused to answer simple and legitimate questions, was frightening. It showed a resentful, uncommunicative and uncooperative McCain who was uncomfortable with the straight talk he used to be known for and who had a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia. Such a volatile temperament renders him unfit to have his finger anywhere near the Button. Lee Otterholt, LAGUNA BEACH, CALIF...
...felt quite disappointed after reading McCain's interview because of his attitude toward the interviewer. Sometimes a journalist has to ask questions whose answers he's supposed to know, but they may be interesting for the readers. In my opinion, "Read it in my books" is not an appropriate answer, especially coming from a public personality. Juan Moreno, SEVILLE, SPAIN...
