"At the time LCDR Speicher was shot down, the evidence indicated that his aircraft had taken a frontal aspect direct hit with a very powerful missile warhead. All present, including the guy's squadron CO, had determined that he didn't make it out of the aircraft. "

While that may be true, when they FINALLY located the wreckage of his plane, the canopy was a mile away and appeared to have functioned properly in an ejection. The initial reports also claimed that the plane was "blown to bits" in midair, but was found to be largely intact in the ground at the crash site. It's worth a look...and worth the attention of our government. HE is worth it, dead or alive. (Which reminds me, if they had his remains...why did they even TRY sending remains from Iraq that were later tested and proven to NOT be his?)

There you go, repeating the stuff Scott Barnes (noted POW/MIA huckster and fake Vietnam vet) has been saying since 1995.

That's the problem: the accounts of how they supposedly found the intact wreckage sound good unless you understand how satellite recon actually works.
