I have to agree with Bevo on this. I find it very hard to believe that the personnel who have worked in JPAC and the other places that try and track POW/MIA's are all a smokescreen, or have helped perpetrate what would be a horrible fraud on the American public and the POW/MIA families (that would also include Congress and the Executive Branch officials as well). From what I have seen, Bevo is right on about the accounting for the Vietnam-era POW's. As far as I know, there has not been one verified piece of evidence that has shown that Vietnam, Vietcong, Pathet Lao, the PRC or anyone else kept POW's after the armistice. There are still some unanswered questions about some taken during the Korean War and during the Cold War, but the Vietnam War MIA's have been thoroughly investigated, with only remains recovered.
A retired Army Colonel who was involved in POW/MIA efforts set up a website to debunk some myths. His tone is a bit sharp, but it is an interesting perspective:
