Ed, 
 
Regarding your gullibility... 
 
EH> At the time Fonda was in Hanoi she not only sat on an  
EH> anti-aircraft gun, but as she toured the "Hanoi Hilton"  
EH> she was given notes by some of the American prisoners 
EH> to give to US authorities and their families and she  
EH> turned all those note over to the North Vietnamese general 
EH> overseeing the camp.  
 
Hogwash.  You've not only fallen for lies, you are now spreading them. 
How does that make you feel?  Does it bother you at all?  Do you 
pretend to represent something better than lies, Ed?  Do you stand 
for the moral, the correct, the true?  You might be interested in  
what others have to say about this hoax.  Have a look: 
 
   "It's a figment of somebody's imagination," says Ret. Col. Larry 
   Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' 
   incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967  
   and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story  
   was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda." 
 
   The tale about a defiant serviceman who spit at Jane Fonda and  
   is severely beaten as a result is often attributed to Air Force  
   pilot Jerry Driscoll.  He has repeatedly stated on the record that  
   it did not originate with him. 
 
   Mike McGrath, President of NAM-POWs, also stepped forward  
   to disclaim the story: 
 
   Please excuse the generic response, but I have been swamped 
   with so many e-mails on the subject of the Jane Fonda article  
   (Carrigan, Driscoll, strips of paper, torture and deaths of  
   POWs, etc.) that I have to resort to this pre-scripted rebuttal.  
   The truth is that most of this never happened. This is a hoax  
   story placed on the internet by unknown Fonda haters. No one  
   knows who initiated the story. Please assist by not propagating  
   the story. Fonda did enough bad things to assure her a correct  
   place in the garbage dumps of history. We don't want to be  
   party to false stories, which could be used as an excuse that  
   her real actions didn't really happen either. I have spoken with 
   all the parties named: Carrigan, Driscoll, et al. They all state  
   that this particular internet story is a hoax and they wish to  
   disassociate their names from the false story. 
 
 
Get well soon, 
 
Marnie (Did you know that "gullible" isn't in your dictionary?)
