Colonel Peck resigned from his position in the Defense Intelligence Agency because of its poor handling of investigations into POW-MIA's sightings in Vietnam. The issue of POW-MIA investigations surfaced in July 1991 when a former POW from the Vietnam war made public a photograph of three men who were claimed to be POW-MIA's from the Vietnam war who were still alive and being held captive in Vietnam. The Pentagon said the photograph could not be verified nor absolutely proven to be a fake, but it came from unreliable sources. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19761-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19761-1 Wed, 26 Apr 1989 00:00:00 GMT http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2781-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2781-1 Wed, 26 Apr 1989 00:00:00 GMT
