PRESIDENT SAYS HE WILL READ AN ENORMOUS CRIME

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the 12 leaders of Operation Rolling Thunder - the 500,000 Vietnam Veterans who ride their motorcycles through DC every year to honor our missing POWs from Vietnam - had a unique and intimate 35-minute private meeting with President Bush in the Oval Office.

Clad in their riding leathers adorned with American flags and POW decals, these leaders hugged the President as they arrived at the White House on their bikes. Once inside the Oval Office, they discussed the fact that hundreds of US POWs held against their will in Vietnam at the end of the war have yet to be released.

Then they handed the President a copy of a brand-new book to be published this week: AN ENORMOUS CRIME; The Definitive Account of US POWs Abandoned in SE Asia (St. Martin's Press).

The President took it and said, "Thank you. I'll read it."

When he does, he will learn some startling facts:

1)Based on 66,000 pages of never-before-seen US Government documents, AN ENORMOUS CRIME details how many of the very same Bush Administration officials who manipulated intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq honed their skills when they earlier manipulated and 'cherry-picked' intelligence to hide the fact that hundreds of US servicemen were abandoned at the end of the Vietnam War.

2)Among those specifically cited in AN ENORMOUS CRIME are now-familiar names: Cheney, Wolfowitz, Armitage, Powell - as well as the architect of our withdrawal from Vietnam - Henry Kissinger, who is a frequent Oval Office visitor these days.

3)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.

4)Many of our POWs are still alive and sending secret Escape and Evasion (E&E) signals only known to US airmen. The signals mean: “I am alive! Come and rescue me!!!”

The Rolling Thunder vets want the President to do the same thing the authors of the book call on him to do: send a high-level delegation to Vietnam and Laos with instructions to do whatever it takes to bring our men home.
