South Koreans are disturbed because they have been left out of secret U.S.-North Korean talks at Panmunjom on the fate of the Pueblo's 82 surviving crewmen. Moreover, they are worried that the Viet Nam war, in which they have nearly 50,000 troops, has so taxed U.S. capabilities that Washington would be unwilling to come to Seoul's aid in case of a Communist attack...
...unaccounted for. By previous rules of war, terrorists were regarded as the exception; in Viet Nam, they are the rule, waging a widespread, vicious campaign against a civilian population. Thus they unquestionably forfeit P.W. status if captured. But what, short of an Instant firing line, is to be their fate?

Almost totally overshadowed by events in Viet Nam, talks between U.S. and North Korean negotiators on the fate of Pueblo and her 82 surviving crewmen moved at a glacial pace in Panmunjom last week. The U.S. had little choice but to pursue the painstaking diplomatic route that it has been following since the ferret ship was seized at sea three weeks ago. "I don't know any way of getting them out alive by military action," said a top-echelon State Department official. "You might get them out as corpses...
