Crossing lines
Asia is well known for the myriad of fakes you can find here. But sometimes it goes too far. Retuers reports: Vietnamese police have arrested two people over a scam that involved faking the remains of U.S. servicemen missing in action, state media reported on Friday...The newspaper, without giving a source for the information, said the pair had believed that offering the fake remains would earn them the right to settle in the United States. Officials involved in MIA recoveries say bounty hunters believe they will get a cash reward or passage to America for the finds.The cynical explotation of America's natural desire to recover all MIA remains doesn't cover the disgracefulness of this kind of crime. It reminds us of the depths some people are prepared to plumb for their own gain. It is disgusting. There is no better punishment than time in a Vietnamese jail for this crime. posted by Simon on 06.18.04 at 03:59 PM in the
