" Vice President Walter Mondale complained that "even prisoners of war are guaranteed certain standards of human treatment, but these standards are being dragged in the dirt." Rosalynn Carter voiced the same refrain in campaign appearances for her husband in Washington, New York City and Jackson, Miss., calling the captives "hostages of a mob and a government that have become one and the same."
