Mayaguez captain Charles Miller defended the U S military strike that liberated his crew off Cambodia. He said without U S action the Cambodians would have sent them to prison. A General Accounting Office report cautioned 41 lives may have been wasted.
New York Secretary of State Kissinger said the GAO report on the Mayaguez incident was based on inaccurate assessment and insufficient knowledge. He criticized the administration for acting quickly, noting Cambodians might have released the crew without U.S. force. A Kissinger aide called the GAO report an ex post facto exercise by amateurs.
Rep. Dante Fascell says a General Accounting Office report criticizing President Ford’s Mayaguez crisis handling was released to coincide with the eve of the second Presidential debate. He maintains it was intended for the November election, though timing was coincidental. Indications suggest the report went out hastily.
