can anyone confirm or deny this? I'd heard she
visited the hilton, but nothing like this.
Ironically, this was forwarded to me by an ex-NY'er
who is quite a staunch liberal- she was pretty livid.

HONORING A TRAITOR !! This is for all the
kids born in the 70's that do not remember this, and
didn't have to bear the burden, that our fathers,
mothers, and older brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women
of the Century." Unfortunately, many have forgotten
and still countless others have never known how Ms.
Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country but
specific men who served and sacrificed during
Vietnam. The first part of this is from an F-4E
pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River
Rat. In 1978, the former Commandant of the USAF
Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi
Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was
ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace
Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd
received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and
dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he
fell forward upon the camp Commandant's feet, which
sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col. still
suffered from double vision (which permanently ended
his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col.'s frenzied
application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col.
Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6
-years in the "Hilton"- the first three of which he
was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that
he was still alive. His group, too, got the
cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a
"peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time
and devised a plan to get word to the world that they
still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of
paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm of his hand.
When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she
walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking
little encouraging snippets like: "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, they each palmed her
their sliver of paper. She took them all without
missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the
camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of
the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and
handed him the little pile of papers. Three men died
from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was
almost number four but he survived, which is the only
reason we know about, her actions that day. I was a
civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and
was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in
South Vietnam in 1968, and held for over 5 years. I
spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in
a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in
Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in
a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I
buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At
one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs. (My
normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war
criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was
asked by the camp communist political officer if I
would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes,
for I would like to tell her about the real treatment
we POWs received different from the treatment
purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by
Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient." Because of this,
I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with
outstretched arms with a large amount of steel placed
on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane till my
arms dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with
Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was
released. I asked her if she would be willing to
debate me on TV. She did not answer me. This does
not exemplify someone who should be honored as part
of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget..."100
years of great women" should never include a traitor
whose hands are covered with the blood of so many
patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral
reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in
blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the
time to forward to as many people as you possibly
can. It will eventually end up on her computer and
she needs to know that we will never forget. Scott A.
