"NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - John McCain, a Vietnam war prisoner, argued Friday that his three top rivals for the GOP nomination aren't qualified to deal with issues like torture — or to be a wartime president — because they never served in the military.

The Arizona senator's position on an interrogation technique that simulates drowning — he says it constitutes torture and is illegal — puts him at odds with Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson, who haven't taken such a hard line.

"There's a clear division between those who have a military background and experience in these issues and people like Giuliani, Romney and Thompson who don't —who chose to do other things when this nation was fighting its wars," McCain told reporters after touring a shipyard in this military bastion.

He stood in a warehouse and focused on comments Giuliani made Thursday on CNBC. The former New York mayor said "waterboarding" should not be used in every circumstance, but he also left the door open to it..."

Sure thing, John.
