Breakthrough to search Vietnamese war photos in Hanoi museum
Pentagon officials say Schweitzer inched into access after failing to find a publisher. He became a consultant and the Vietnamese granted nearly 4,800 war photos. Eight Pentagon investigators study the grainy images for clues as Mills Griffith, Gen John Vessey, and Sen John McCain led a delegation to Hanoi to formalize an agreement. A three person team will begin next Friday with Schweitzer in the Hanoi memory museum, a second team to follow December 1. The drive to decide why Vietnam should seize the moment reflects internal power struggles and strategic maneuvering, yet the evidence of the change remains compelling though many questions stay unanswered.
