Michael Scott Speicher.(snip)
The Pentagon has not been able to explain away the claim by an Iraqi defector who escaped to Jordan, who told American investigators that in the first days of the 1991 Gulf War, he had driven an American pilot from the desert to Baghdad where he was taken by the Iraqi authorities. The U.S. pilot, the defector said, was alive, alert and wearing a flight suit. The defector pointed Speicher out in a photo lineup, and passed two lie detector tests.According to Buddy, “The one source that claimed to have been held with Speicher and fed him on a daily basis stated they had been held for 10 years in the underground prison; that individual was released and left Iraq.”
