The main reason, however, for seeking these files is to find out if there is any information in the debriefings, or in other MIA documents that McCain and the Pentagon have kept sealed, about how many prisoners were held back by North Vietnam after the Paris peace treaty was signed in January 1973. The defense and intelligence establishment has long resisted the declassification of critical records on this subject. McCain has been the main congressional force behind this effort.<BR/><BR/>The prisoner return in 1973 saw 591 Americans repatriated by North Vietnam. The problem was that the U.S. intelligence list of men believed to be alive at that time in captivity — in Vietnam, Laos and possibly across the border in southern China and in the Soviet Union — was much larger.Possibly hundreds of men larger.<BR/><BR/>The State Department stated publicly in 1973 that intelligence data showed the prisoner list to be starkly incomplete. For example, only nine of the 591 returnees came out of Laos, though experts in U.S. military intelligence listed 311 men as missing in that Hanoi-run country alone, and their field reports indicated that many of those men were probably still alive. Hanoi said it was returning all the prisoners it had. President Nixon, on March 29, 1973, seconded that claim, telling the nation on television: “All of our American POWs are on their way home.” This discrepancy has never been acknowledged or explained by official Washington. Over the years in Washington, McCain, at times almost single-handedly, has pushed through Pentagon-desired legislation to make it impossible or much harder for the public to acquire POW/MIA information and much easier for the defense bureaucracy to keep it hidden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-45461948801786194852008-02-01T21:02:00.000-06:002008-02-01T21:02:00.000-06:00Hey Sporer,I left a comment on another blog and wa...Hey Sporer,<BR/>I left a comment on another blog and was accused of being you.

His mother was from Mexico and she assumed the identity of an American who she was told was deceased. She endeavored over the years ultimately earning a nursing degree and running a department in a large hospital. Unfortunately the women whose identity she assumed was not dead and when she applied for Social Security it blew the whole thing open. The son discovered his mother's real name when he had to bail her out of jail. She avoided deportation and is now a stateless person but she learned a lot about the American work ethic in her years and carries absolutely no bitterness. She agrees illegal immigration is a huge problem and can't stand illegals who don't assimilate nor care about the United States. Her son also agrees we need to deal with illegal immigration and has not changed his views even though his mother is on the wrong side of this law.<BR/><BR/>He hopes to make enough money to take care of his mother and make the best of this situation.Ken Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920508283824085783noreply@blogger.com
