| Was Hanoi Jane responsible for US POW deaths in Vietnam? |
| 2004-02-26 |
| A former prisoner of war in Vietnam tells the following story about one pathetic pawn of KGB disinformation, Jane Fonda. In 1978, there was a meeting in Hanoi between American POWs and a "peace delegation" led by Fonda, who had gone to north Vietnam without U.S. approval. In order to let the world know that they were still alive, the American prisoners secretly palmed tiny slips of paper with their Social Security numbers on them. As they were paraded before Jane Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line and asked polite little questions, such as: "Aren’t you sorry you bombed babies?" and, "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this had to be an act, the prisoners all slipped her their messages. She took them all, but once the camera stopped rolling, she turned to the north Vietnamese officer in charge and handed him the little pile of papers. Three prisoners died from their subsequent beatings. Words fail me. Read the rest - about the organized Soviet effort to spread lies about the US - and its repercussions in Europe - at this link. |

| #9 Jane Fonda needs to surrender to the nearest US attorney, and confess her treason, so the whole world can finally find out who the enemy is even after the dissolutionn of the USSR. Iffin Kerry gets the left's nomination, 2004 will be a fun, and hopefully enlightening year. |

| #8 Gent, If memory serves I think you'll find that it wasn't Fonda but another woman missionary that handed the notes back. Seems she was a German named Corrie, or maybe Corinne, that made several trips there. The event actually happened but the names are confusing now. I remember when this was brought to light. TW |

| #7 Jane Fonda was NOT a mere traitor. She was complice in the massacre of Hue, in the countless war crimes perpatrated by the VC and the NVA, she has a responsibility in the Cambodian genocide. She is a war criminal, a baby killer and deserves to be hanged. |

| #6 I don't care if she is the "hottest" 60-soemthing year old babe in the world. Never forgive what she did, and will never forget. |

| #5 Andropov was a shrewd judge of human nature. He understood that in the end our original involvement would be forgotten, and our insinuations would take on a life of their own. Wow. I have been wondering where this notion of the US as the root of all evil had come from, even in the face of evidence of much greater evil on the part of the USSR. From recent rhetoric one might think that the Soviet Union had never existed, had never stirred up trouble around the globe, that US actions for the past 60 years had occurred in a vacuum. I wondered whether Soviet propaganda had a part in it, thriving and circulating even after the death of its creators. But I thought I was being too paranoid. I'm still far from convinced. |

| #4 OK, so we can't link Hanoi Jane directly to any deaths of US servicemen. However, the rest of the article pegs the source of Kerry's antiwar propaganda pretty well. Kerry was one of the Soviets' useful idiots. Today, he's just an idiot. |

| #3 Except Hanoi Jane was not a pathetic pawn but knew full well what she was doing. She was in her 30's at the time -- not 'young and naive'.... |

| #1 Snopes found some parts of the stories about Jane Fonda in Hanoi to be credible, and some parts, including the story about the SS#'s on slips of paper, to be "proveably untrue". I recommend that you follow this link and read it thoroughly. |
