Stunning news today for Howard Dean and his family, as the possible remains of his brother Charles were discovered in Laos, 29 years after he and a friend were executed as prisoners of war. Charles Dean was not a soldier, but he and his friend were held in a prison camp as suspected US spies -- they were arrested by the Pathet Lao on the day I was born. Remarkable -- as is Dean's somber statement on the discovery.
