What is not so often mentioned is that almost all POWs were at some point offered and rejected release unless everybody was released and without terms. So while it does speak to his character that he refused release on terms that would have required him to speak out against the United States, it isn't necessarily a sign of a uniquely special character.
And I'm all for maligning the political sense of the New Yorkers, it isn't like they've done anything to suggest they're immune to the idiocy common to other consistuencies.
