The U.S. President Bill Clinton Administration seemed ready to take a timid but crucial step around the roadblocks, allowing the I.M.F. to release funds to Hanoi, Vietnam in late April. Because Clinton may be on the verge of finally ending the Vietnam war, said The Wall Street Journal on April 12, the P.O.W./M.I.A. lobby launched an orchestrated campaign to stop him. The constant use of the term prisoners of war is another interesting slip. This was a major issue from 1969 right on through the signing of the January 1973 Paris Peace Accord, which refers to captured American military personnel, never prisoners of war.
