Photos could identify POW-MIAs
U.S. officials get access to photos held in Vietnam
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. officials on a weekend trip to Vietnam gained access to a cache of secret information, including thousands of photographs that could shed light on the fate of U.S. servicemen missing in action in the Vietnam War, government sources said yesterday.
maybe," said one Department of Defense official speaking on the condition of anonymity.
There’s a good chance we’ll get a lot of cases solved — dozens, hundreds
One source said the photographs were all of dead servicemen.
Another official said intelligence personnel were working night and day to glean clues to what became of U.S. servicemen thought captured or
If positive identifications are made, families of the missing men will be notified first, the officials said. President Bush is to be briefed on the results tomorrow, followed by a public announcement.
At the Pentagon, press representative Bob Hall refused to comment on the situation except to promise that if
new information developed, the department would talk fairly quickly with the families to alert them to the issue.
Another official said the information might be a whole new vein of evidence about those listed as prisoners of war or missing in action during that war. It especially could be useful in determining the status of servicemen who were last seen or heard from alive but in imminent danger of capture.
A Senate source said 4,000 to 5,000 photos were in the newly uncovered archives, but many were duplicates, or different shots of the same individuals. And, he said, "They all deal with dead people."
The United States had long suspected that such information, which reportedly includes more than 4,000 photos, existed in Vietnam. But the trip over the weekend to Hanoi by retired Gen. John Vessey Jr. and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was the first time its existence has been officially acknowledged.
Vessey is President Bush's special emissary for POW-MIA affairs, and McCain is a former Vietnam prisoner of war and a member of the Senate's Select Committee on POW-MIA Affairs.
One official said the information appeared to be the most important breakthrough in the long POW-MIA effort in two decades.
Seismologists predict quake in California
The Associated Press
PARKFIELD, Calif. — Residents of this tiny coastal range town on the San Andreas fault went about their business yesterday despite a unique warning from government seismologists that a powerful earthquake could hit soon.
Prompted by a 4.7-magnitude quake Monday night, the state Office of Emergency Services warned residents in a 30-mile radius of a 1 in 3 chance of a large quake by tomorrow night.
The prediction was the first such warning issued as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Parkfield project, the world's most comprehensive earthquake prediction experiment.
An earthquake measuring 5.5 to 6.0 on the Richter scale would fulfill a 1985 agency forecast that a strong shaker would strike the area by the end of 1992.
The project marks the only time the agency has issued a formal earthquake prediction specifying time and magnitude.
The warning did not deter residents from their routines, despite a wave of reporters and television crews in the ranching town, set in a remote, hilly area about 170 miles southeast of San Francisco.
"We're so used to all these earthquakes. The fault lies right over the hill there. It's really no big deal to us," said Alice Miller, who owns a ranch outside town with her husband.
A sign outside the Parkfield Cafe reads: "Earthquake Capital of the World. Be Here When It Happens."
Quakes measuring 5.5 to 6.3 have been recorded fairly regularly near Parkfield since 1857. Although such earthquakes can cause severe destruction, past damage has been relatively light because the
area is sparsely populated.
A sign at the entrance of town says the population is 34, but residents say at least 100 people live in the area.
Danaele. Thomason took the warning seriously enough to move her two cars out of her garage, draw extra water from the well on her ranch and clean off her fireplace mantle.
"There's something spooky about an earthquake.
I'll never use them," said Thomason.
She thinks a quake is imminent, partly because of the USGS warning and partly because she has seen some more murdane signs of seismic activity — a new bump on the road outside town and a dry spring that suddenly came to life.
"It's anybody's guess. It could happen in the next couple of minutes. It could dillydally along for a couple of months," Thomason said.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN ANNUITY STOCK FUNDS?
If you do not have a Profit Protection Plan or Risk Management Strategy to use with your Aetna, TIA/A/CREF, Lincoln National, or other stock fund, then you will lose big sometime in the next one, two or three years.
How do I know this? Because history tells us. There have been 13 major bear markets since 1929, each cycle lasting five years on the average. During the average bear market, stocks and stock funds lost 37.5% of their value. Four times (almost one out of three) the market lost more than 45%! And, it will happen again!
Furthermore, the world economy is under stress unlike it has ever experienced in the past. It is being rocked by forces that no single government can control—the absolute result of years of reckless borrowing and deficit spending in the Western World and years of repressive government control in the former Soviet Block and most "Third World" countries. Greed and Power.
However, be assured of this: Just as stocks will have agu-trenching massacre, they will also experience a meteoric rise afterwards. The only ones who will see real, significant growth in their stock funds are those who are out of the market as is being thrashed by the bears and back in when the thrashing is over. In addition, the only ones who will not be anxious about their retirement funds are those who have a plan to protect their profits.
Therefore, YOU MUST HAVE a Profit Protection Plan or Risk Management Strategy or you will lose big.
If you are doing nothing to protect your investment in your Aetna, TIAA/CREF or Lincoln National stock funds, then you need the Fund Allocation STRategy.
