Looks like there may be a there-there.

From the DoS FOIA reading room (From Document one of 20 on page 1 of 6, dated 2001:)

'''"The Intelligence Community (IC) completed an assessment of

Commander Speicher's case. last fall'''. This assessment was

instrumental in Secretary of the Navy Danzig's decision to change

Commander Speicher's status from "Killed in Action/Body Not

Recovered" .(KIA/BNR) to "Missing in Action" (MIA). In fact, I

recommended such a change in March 1999, based upon information

in possession of the U.S. Congress. I again discuseed this issue

with Secretary Danzig in his office last December.

'''Mr. Secretary, I have been involved in this case for.over

five years and have serious concerns that elements of the U.S.

Government have misled the Congress on this tragic case'''. I

strongly urge you to make the appropriate efforts to resolve the

fate of Commander Speicher. Furthermore, %believe we should

keep open al2 avenues of communication with the Iraqi Government

on this issue."

The letter is signed "Bob Smith, U.S.S." and was written to Colin Powell
