Hanoi POW List Debated as Propaganda and Incomplete
Washington officials call Hanoi's POW roster old and incomplete listing 339 Americans held captive with 20 dead and nine released. The list's accuracy is disputed as U S officials question completeness while North Vietnam says it is the official count given to Kennedy staff. The release was brokered in Paris with Kennedy and Fulbright involvement.
