	Sybil Stockdale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sybil's story is important because she helped publicize the mistreatment of US prisoners by North Vietnam.
		When Sybil Stockdale's husband James was shot down in 1965 over North Vietnam, the US government had a "keep-quiet" policy, asking relatives of POWs to not raise a fuss about mistreatment of prisoners.
		Over the next several years, Sybil found herself more and more disenchanted with the pretense that prisoners like her husband were treated fairly; James had been tortured, had inflicted serious wounds on himself to convince his captors they couldn't break or use him, and had spent years in solitary confinement.

		Sybil Stockdale struggled mightily with Washington bureaucrats to get our government to publicly denounce the inhumane treatment of prisoners of war in North Vietnam, all the while coping with the stress of her husband's imprisonment and of raising four sons alone at the family home in Coronado, California.

		These were punishing times for Sybil, too, whose ordeal involved loneliness and anxiety, financial pressure, illness, and assisting Navy Intelligence in a risky exchange of coded information in letters to her husband.
