[kellynla]

"Controversial former North Carolina congressman Hendon and attorney Stewart make the case that the U.S. knowingly left hundreds of POWs in Vietnam and Laos in 1973, and that every presidential administration since then has covered it up.

— Publishers Weekly, week of April 9, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sprawling indictment of eight U.S. administrations. Hendon and Stewart…appear nonpartisan in their disdain for governmental inaction and double-dealing. A convincing, urgent argument.

I’ve always suspected this.

[yldstrk]

And we were impressed with Henry Kissinger exactly why?

[Constitution Day]

BUMP

[TommyDale]

I heard this during the night on the radio. That bottom item is the “Walking K” and is known to be a signal that it is indeed a pilot waiting to be rescued.

[Ouderkirk]

Frightening !!!

[Obadiah]

Even in 1988, a U.S. spy satellite passing over Sam Neua Province, Laos, spotted the twelve-foot-tall letters “USA” and immediately beneath them a huge, highly classified Vietnam War-era USAF/USN Escape & Evasion code in a rice paddy in a narrow mountain valley.

I demand a complete investigation!

I don't care if we find that Ronald Reagan himself is partly to blame. I want my government held accountable. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!

[TommyDale]

According to the book and the evidence, there are between 650 and 850 POWs still alive and being held, or at least there were.

John McCain and John Kerry refused to accept any of the evidence presented. In fact, McCain claims that the ultra
secret code “Walking K” in the rice paddy was done by a child
in Laos.

Right, John! How much did you tell the North Vietnamese while you were getting preferential treatment?

[edcoil]

I listen to coasttocoast on my way to work on this subject. You the author?

[kellynla]

You the author?
no

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

This is another reason to detest McCain and Kerry.

[sgtbono2002]

Ask John Kerry and John McCain where those prisoners are.

They headed a Congressional task force to find them. They ended up destroying all the records of sightings ,but they came home with a trade deal for Kerry’s cousin.

What is frightening is that both these men have run for President after the way they stabbed POW,and MIA’s in the back. John McCain is now giving away our country to Mexicans while holding hands with the murderer of Mary Jo Kopechne. If the Amnesty bill is passed this killer and this slime will stand next to the President while he signs the give away bill and they will all 3 be grinning like skunks eating crap.

[Freee-dame]

John McCain and John Kerry refused to accept any of the evidence presented.

I have disliked (to say the least) McCain ever since this sell out. IIRC many documents that had been used to research missing POW/MIA's were destroyed as part of their agreement, so we could get a fresh start with Vietnam (a Communist dictatorship), or some such ridiculous reason.

[JoeGar]

How much did you [John McCain] tell the North Vietnamese while you were getting preferential treatment?

Preferential treatment? They tried to release McCain and he wouldn't go. He told them he would not leave until everyone imprisoned before him was released. I don't much care for McCain, but it took enormous courage to voluntarily stay in prison and be tortured more.

[TommyDale]

"They tried to release McCain and he wouldn't go. He told them he would not leave until everyone imprisoned before him was released."

Funny thing, even while his committee under John Kerry as chairman, McCain refused to accept the evidence of other POWs left behind. There are witnesses who saw them shredding the evidence.

What they didn't count on was an investigator coming forward now with mounds of evidence.

[8mmMauser]

Not having read further, so not knowing what was written, I can relate my own experiences in the late eighties, on this matter.

Back then I worked at the Pentagon with a close friend, a senior Marine officer, who was trying to help the families of the POW’s. From him, I heard the stories, at the time, hugely politically incorrect, about 312 POW’s known to be left behind and alive and in a camp. He understood the lives of these had been negotiated away at the bargaining table by Kissinger, but was trying to break through the barriers to get some sunlight on the issue.

But it was not to be. Every step of the way, he was thwarted by an unseen hand at times and by one in a key position to smother any such rebellion, Richard Armitage. Sound familiar?? As I recall either he or another friend also thought the same was operating out of the embassy in Thailand earlier and was blocking investigations back then.

I guess sources available now could confirm or deny the accuracy of these stories.

My friend who is a faithful and practicing Christian and fine family man was finally just shoved aside, left the Pentagon, and that was that.

I just renewed my faded POW flag. The black bleaches out fairly quickly in the weather. God bless and help those poor souls.
