VIETNAM war POWs still around! |
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2007/05/29.html#recap
Recap
Left in Vietnam
Appearing during the first three hours, former NC congressman Bill
Hendon and attorney Elizabeth Stewart, the authors of An Enormous Crime,
discussed the evidence for a sizable group of American POWs being left
behind in Vietnam. Hendon said that after the war, a deal was cut to pay
billions to North Vietnam for rebuilding their country and returning the
remaining POWs. But as the Watergate scandal broke, Nixon and Kissinger
reneged on the arrangement, and around 700 prisoners were kept in Vietnam.
Stewart said she has worked for 20 years in Washington DC to uncover the
truth about the POWs, and there has been much intelligence that has
referenced the missing soldiers. Specifically, Hendon noted spy
satellite photographs, one of which (see below) showed "USA" spelled out
in 12 ft. tall letters in a rice field, along with a 24 ft. tall
"Walking K" – an "escape and evasion" code only known to US pilots in N.
Laos.
Hendon commented that in the early 80's, Reagan tried to get the POWs
back, but advisors talked him out of it. By 1992, an investigation
chaired by McCain and Kerry concluded there were no American refugees
left in Vietnam. Stewart and Hendon believe there could be as many as
500-600 POWs still alive there, and that the US government is engaged in
a cover-up of the evidence for their existence.

An Enormous Crime: The Definitive Account of American POWs Abandoned in
Southeast Asia
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
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. The main reason for the secrecy, say the
authors, is the billions in war reparations demanded by the Vietnamese
and promised by Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon at the Paris Peace
talks. Hendon and Stewart provide a mountain of evidence, mainly
intelligence reports of live sightings of American prisoners in Vietnam
and Laos that make for less-than-scintillating reading. But riveting
sections describe Hendon's crusade on this issue in the early 1980s,
including two meetings with President Reagan, pleading his case that the
government free the live POWs. Hendon and Stewart directly accuse a long
list of government officials of the coverup. Among the most culpable:
Kissinger, President George H.W. Bush, Senators John McCain and John
Kerry, Gen. Colin Powell, former secretary of state George Schultz and
former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld. It's a chore wading through
the live-sighting reports and the massive, detailed endnotes, but the
descriptions of Hendon's unsuccessful personal mission provide an
intriguing story—and carry the ring of truth. 36 b&w photos not seen by

The dramatic history of living American soldiers left in Vietnam, and
the first full account of the circumstances that left them there…
An Enormous Crime is nothing less than shocking. Based on thousands of
pages of public and previously classified documents, it makes an utterly
convincing case that when the American government withdrew its forces
from Vietnam, it knowingly abandoned hundreds of POWs to their fate. The
product of twenty-five years of research by former Congressman Bill
Hendon and attorney Elizabeth A. Stewart, An Enormous Crime brilliantly
exposes the reasons why these American soldiers and airmen were held
back by the North Vietnamese at Operation Homecoming in 1973 and what
these men have endured since.
Despite hundreds of postwar sightings and intelligence
reports telling of Americans being held captive throughout Vietnam and
Laos, Washington did nothing. And despite numerous secret military
signals and codes sent from the desperate POWs themselves, the Pentagon
did not act. 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. The letters “USA” appeared to have been dug out of the ground,
while the code appeared to have been fashioned from rice straw.
Tragically, the brave men who constructed these codes have
not yet come home. Nor have any of the other American POWs who the
postwar intelligence shows have laid down similar codes, secret
messages, and secret authenticators in rice paddies and fields and
garden plots and along trails in both Laos and Vietnam.
An Enormous Crime is based on open-source documents and
reports, and thousands of declassified intelligence reports and
satellite imagery, as well as author interviews and personal experience.
It is a singular work, telling a story unlike any other in our modern
history: ugly, harrowing, and true.
From the Bay of Pigs, where John and Robert Kennedy struck a
deal with Fidel Castro that led to freedom for the Bay of Pigs
prisoners, to the Paris Peace Accords, in which the authors argue
Kissinger and Nixon sold American soldiers down the river for political
gain, to a continued reluctance to revisit the possibility of reclaiming
any men who might still survive, we have a story untold for decades. And
with An Enormous Crime we have for the first time a comprehensive
history of America’s leaders in their worst hour; of life-and-death
decision making based on politics, not intelligence; and of men lost to
their families and the country they serve, betrayed by their own leaders.
