Running Out the Clock

By Janice Castro

THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON POW/MIA AFFAIRS WILL HEAR testimony this week from relatives of missing American servicemen who claim they have been defrauded of millions of dollars by MIA HUNTERS, who in some cases promised to bring the missing men home alive. But the committee is running out of time to investigate such claims. Lawyers for several of the MIA hunters in question have raised legal objections that may tie up the probe until the committee's mandate expires on Dec. 31.
