Three Navy pilots released after six years in prison in North Vietnam yesterday detailed the torture they said they received at the hands of their captors.
At a news conference held at the Naval Hospital in St. Albans, Queens, the officers, all from New York State, spoke in strong support of the Nixon Administration’s conduct of the war, particularly its bombing policy.
They had strong words of censure for the antiwar movement, which they charged had prolonged the war by causing the North Vietnamese to misgauge the influence of the protesters on Government policy.
