Court Martial Unlikely For Any of Pueblo Crew
Washington based reports indicate virtually no chance any USS Pueblo crew member will face court martial for actions during 11 months as North Korean prisoners. A San Diego court of inquiry, routine in such cases, will address conduct. observers note the prisoners signed confessions under Communist pressure, yet the U.S. repudiated them. The Articles of War may not apply since there was no war, and no evidence shows North Korean help from the prisoners. The Navy emphasizes praise and the code of conduct forbids confessions, true or false, and requires only name, rank, service number, and date of birth.
