someone just sent this to me. It's from the "memory hole" and was posted on June 9, 03. More than interesting is....

Quote:
Among the most stunning evidence is the testimony of two men who served as President Nixon's Defense Secretaries (one of whom had also been the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency). In sworn testimony before Congress in 1992, they said that POWs held in Laos had been abandoned. This bombshell was a two-day wonder. On the first day, the press reported it. On the second day, Henry Kissinger denied it. On the third day and every following day, the public forgot it.

While searching through the Virtual Vietnam Archive for a book I'm writing (50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know), I came across this remarkable article. As far as I can tell, the testimony of these two Defense Secretaries was not included in the published volumes covering these congressional hearings. If anyone has the verbatim transcripts, please send them. (Note: the last line of each column was clipped in the original scan.)
