Hi and welcome to Free Republic. From the New York Times:

Asked by The Quad-City Times, which is based in Davenport, Iowa, to complete the sentence "My closest living relative in the armed services is," Dr. Dean wrote in August, "My brother is a POW/MIA in Laos, but is almost certainly dead."

Dean lied and your spin doesn't wash, his brother wasn't in the armed services.

Question: Why doe shte army refer to his brother as POW/MIA?

i hear CIA rumours and in fact his brother was killed because they THOUGHT he was a spy...maybe he was?
