DID YOU KNOW....??
Although the Pathet Lao stated publicly they
held "tens
of tens" of
American POWs, the U.S. never negotiated their release because the U.S. did not
officially recognize the Pathet Lao as a governmental entity.
Consequently, nearly 600 Americans lost in Laos disappeared. Not
one American held by the Lao was ever released.
DID YOU ALSO KNOW....??
We all know that 591 came home in Operation
Homecoming.
But did you know
that in Sept. of 1972 the General of the Army , Gen. Quang, told the North Vietnamese
Politburo that they (the Vietnamese) were holding 1,205 Americans as POWs and
that only 368 had been acknowledged or were to be acknowledged to the American
authorities? The document was uncovered just after Clinton's first inauguration
and the first thing his administration did with the document
was classify it.
