Navy: Former Iraqi Officials 'Know Whereabouts' Of Pilot Missing 14 Years
I remember reading about this some time ago I say find him and bring him home already. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/4949626/detail.html WASHINGTON -- The Navy says former Iraqi officials "know the whereabouts" of a Navy pilot who was shot down over Iraq during the first Gulf War. Capt. Scott Speicher went missing in January 1991. At the time, the Iraqi government stated he died in the crash. However, a Navy board of inquiry concluded that there's no solid evidence that he is dead. Speicher was first listed as killed in action. Ten years later the Navy changed his status to MIA. It now lists him as "missing-captured." The board said the Pentagon should work with the State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the Iraqi government to "increase the level of attention and effort inside Iraq" to resolve the matter. |

If we haven't found him during our occupation of Iraq, I fear we may never find him.

I agree. If they killed their own people and had such a hatred for the US, if he survived the crash, they probably killed him soon after.
