Today NewsMax begins a true public service by doing something the so-called mainstream media will not do: informing you about the worst act of U.S. government malfeasance in American history.
And that is the deliberate abandonment of 700 US POWs in Vietnam and Laos back in 1973 — and the continued cover-up of the existence of these men.
It is the duty of all Americans to demand that our government right this wrong and — no matter the cost or embarrassment or damage to some political careers — do whatever it takes to make a deal to bring these men home while they still have a breath of life in them.
Among the many new revelations in "An Enormous Crime":
How North Vietnam kept a second secret group of U.S. POWs behind in 1973 to use for negotiations for war reparations from The U.S. government.
That the U.S. government — specifically National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and President Richard Nixon — knew they were abandoning these 700 U.S. POWs in their rush to get out of Vietnam.

Fidel Castro was a key adviser to the North Vietnamese government during and after the Vietnam War and gave Hanoi what they called the "Cuban Plan," a strategy to capture and then trade U.S. POWs for money, just as Castro had done at the Bay of Pigs.
"An Enormous Crime" is based on 66,000 pages of never-before-published USG intelligence reports.
Many of our POWs are still alive and sending Escape and Evasion (E&E) signals, such as the "USA walking K" on the cover of the book, only given secretly to U.S. pilots before a mission. The signal means: "I am alive! Come and rescue me!"
The very same Bush administration members who authored the war in Iraq by manipulating and using selective intelligence reports to justify their agenda — Cheney, Wolfowitz, Powell, Armitage, and John McCain — had earlier spent years manipulating and cherry-picking intelligence to cover-up the fact that North Vietnam had kept behind some 700 U.S. POWs at the end of the war.
Sens. John Kerry and John McCain in 1991-1992 hijacked the U.S. Senate Select Committee on POWs in southeast Asia to "write off" the POWs so as to pave the way for Clinton to normalize relations with Hanoi.
The real reason that H. Ross Perot ran against the first President Bush in 1992, and ultimately cost him the election to Bill Clinton, was Perot reportedly grew to distrust George H. W. Bush's handling of the POW issue, an issue close to Perot's heart.
The book is backed up and supplemented by other material located at a special Web site: www.enormouscrime.com.
Publishers Weekly writes that "An Enormous Crime" makes the case that the U.S. knowingly left hundreds of POWs in Vietnam and Laos in 1973, and that every presidential administration since then has covered it up."
Kirkus Reviews: "A sprawling indictment of eight U.S. administrations ... a convincing, urgent argument."
It is our duty to read this book and then to demand that all U.S. POWs be brought home at once!
