A LOT OF QUESTIONS***************Senate report reveals POWs from WWII still held By Harry V. Martin Copyright FreeAmerica and Harry V. Martin, 1995 The chief of the Special Office for POWs and MIAs resigned last year, stating that the highest officials in the United States government were committing a travesty and even a cover‑up. Colonel Mike Peck resigned as head of the special unit of the Defense Intelligence Agency because he believed that evidence was sufficient to show American POWs were still alive in Southeast Asia. A special Congressional Select Committee, in a report dated May 23, 1991, revealed not only were American POWs still alive from the Vietnam War, but that 25,000 American POWs from World War II were transferred from German POW camps to Siberia. In 1975, an escapee from a Soviet labor camp in Siberia reported that he was held with 900 American POWs, POWs from World War II, Korea and Southeast Asia. In fact, there report indicates the Soviets were holding American POWs from World War I. Yet for political reasons, none have been returned to the United States. For many years there have been reported sightings of American POWs in Southeast Asia, but in every case the United States government has denied that any American POWs are alive in Vietnam or Laos today. In all, there were over 70,000 missing Americans in World War II, 10,000 from the Korean War, and 2200 in Vietnam. The KGB reports interrogating American POWs long after the Vietnam War concluded. There is a split in government, many military insiders know there are still POWs in Vietnam and support any effort, government‑financed or privately‑financed, to repatriate these long‑held prisoners. Yet the highest echelons in government does not support the military contention. Former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Eugene Tighe, Jr., has always insisted that POWs remain in Vietnam. Tighe has never abandoned this belief. (Note: Tighe was the chairman of the board of Defense System Review, the international military magazine owned by this writer from 1983‑1985.) Colonel Peck surrendered a promising career over the same issue.?????????????????
