... a Vietnamese guard tells his American prisoner.
Were American POWs left behind in South-East Asia? On the banks of the Mekong river, Vietnam veteran Vincent Amone plans a rescue mission into Laos. On the other side, he believes, Americans are still held hostage; 'If the communists catch me, they'll shoot me.' In a remote corner of Vietnam, a Swedish engineer sees white men in a jungle prison camp. 'You seen Rambo? It was like that.... bamboo walls and guard towers.'
In Florida, Air Force wife Anne Hart discovers that, after American POWs were supposedly sent home, a US spy plane photographed her husband's initials stamped out in long grass in Laos. The intelligence report concluded: 'This was thought to be Capt Hart.' For ten years, nobody told her ...
Officially, US administrations and the Vietnamese have long denied prisoners were left behind. Today intelligence men, former Vietnam government officials and nearly 1,000 eyewitnesses say that they were. To MIA wives, their men were abandoned.
