JANE FONDA REGRETS THE "BETRAYAL" HER PHOTO ON A NORTH VIETNAMESE ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN SYMBOLIZED - "60 MINUTES" SUNDAY Ê Thu Mar 31 2005 12:39:34 ET

Ê

Iconic Actress Wasn't "Forced" by Husband Roger Vadim Into Three-Way Sex, But Says "I Went Along With it" in Her First Interview About Her Upcoming Autobiography Ê

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Jane Fonda has no regrets about her trip to North Vietnam in 1972 - with one big exception: her visit to a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun site used to shoot down U.S. pilots.Ê She says her appearance there, which earned her the epithet "Hanoi Jane," was a "betrayal" of the U.S. military, its soldiers and "the country that gave me privilege."Ê She regards the event as one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Fonda speaks to Lesley Stahl in her first interview about her upcoming autobiography, Jane Fonda: My Life So Far, for a 60 MINUTES report to be broadcast Sunday, April 3 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Ê

Ê"The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda's daughter...sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal...the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine," says Fonda.Ê She does not regret, however, visiting the enemy capital, Hanoi, or being photographed with American prisoners of war there - despite the propaganda value it afforded the enemy.Ê "There are hundreds of American delegations that had met with the POWs," says Fonda.Ê "Both sides were using the POWs for propaganda....It's not something that I will apologize for," she says. Ê

ÊNor is she sorry for the broadcasts she made on Radio Hanoi, something she asked the North Vietnamese to do.Ê "Our government was lying to us and men were dying because of it, and I felt I had to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war," she tells Stahl.Ê She went on Radio Hanoi at least 10 times, speaking directly to American pilots and criticizing their bombing of North Vietnam.Ê Fonda insists she did not ask the pilots to disobey orders. Ê"I'm asking them to consider [not bombing North Vietnam]," says Fonda. She wouldn't make similar broadcasts in Iraq today, however, saying, "I don't think it's the same situation at all. When I went [to North Vietnam]...we had been fighting in Vietnam for eight years. The majority of Americans...[and] Congress opposed the war. It was a desperate time."

Ê Fonda is also candid about her private life, revealing, for example, that she willingly participated in three-way sex at the request of her first husband, Roger Vadim, the French film director. "One night Vadim brought another woman into my bed and I went along with it....I'm competitive...I was going to keep up with the Joneses. It was the 60s and whatever," she tells Stahl, adding that she isn't sure if she liked the mŽnage a trois.Ê But, "I know one thing: it really hurt me...and it reinforced my feeling I wasn't good enough."Ê She went along with the sex, she says, because "I felt that if I said no, that he would leave me and I couldn't imagine myself without him."Ê Ê

Ê Sometimes Fonda solicited the women herself.Ê "Hey, if that's what he wanted, I'd give it to him in spades," she tells Stahl. She says the women she procured for Vadim were call girls and that she used what she learned from them for her Oscar-winning turn as a prostitute in "Klute." Ê

Asked why she would write about such private matters, Fonda responds, "I knew that if I didn't really fess up about how far I went in the betrayal of my heart, that it would not make the journey that I've been on...as important and as poignant."

I can't believe anyone one would care what Hanoi Jane does. I just can't wait till this 60's mentality dies, it's just sick...and by the way she is sick. I know because she makes me sick. She is one of the biggest communists in Hollywood. I just can't stand that woman...sorry for the rant.

Jane Fonda should have been prosecuted for Treason and sentenced to death, she should not be afraid of the death penalty today, we have learned that starving someone to death is an experience that is much like her drug induced haze she was in during the sixties, It's an experience that is described by todays leading Liberals as "Euphoric" and "Peaceful"... She should be eager to request this treatment for the Vegetative State she has been living in :-)

Money! That's the only thing that motivates this traitorous fool! She's hoping that this belated apology will sell more of her books. She is certainly despicable in the extreme!

It's not something that I will apologize for," she says, referring to her shameless photo propaganda with our U.S. prisoners in the Hanoi Hilton.

Hmmm, there's a very specific word for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Did Lesley Stahl mention the "T" word?

General question. Is there a lower low than to be considered a traitor?

Not to be disagreeable, but I don't agree. Madness might excuse her behaviour. I believe that she is evil, driven by ego and hate.

Tonight on CBS '60 Minutes' our Enemy Within JANE FONDA lied to the American People once again trying to justify her actions against US during the Vietnam War.

This time FONDA said she merely acted out what the Majority of the American People and Congress always wanted her to do in stopping the war, as if a majority was always against the Vietnam War, which it decidedly wasn't.

The Pro-War Majority started to turn this way after our Enemy Within WALTER CRONKITE turned against the Vietnam War on the CBS 'Evening News' immediately following our Military Victory in the 1968 TET Offensive in South Vietnam.

And then 1972's Watergate Scandal of President NIXON sealed the deal, as an emboldened Democrat Congress was able to cut off the funding for South Vietnam's Fight for its own Freedom because of a suddenly weakened U.S. Presidency.

I will NEVER FORGET hearing about JANE FONDA's 1st Hanoi Radio guest appearances against US American Soldiers on my Armed Forces Radio at night during my last offensive operation in Vietnam's Central Hightlands in...

...April 1966.

Still FONDA LIES, Big Time.

Guess who then paid the heavy Price for FONDA's LIES after the 1975 Fall of Saigon:

What Price to pay now, and by whom, for FONDA's new LIES, I wonder..?

Too bad the "Move On" FReepers just don't understand
the real threat that the likes of Hanoi Kerry pose to our country.

I just don't understand their reasoning in saying
"drop it", "your wasting your time", "give it up" etc.

Some even howl when I remind them the job is NOT done.

Well I have news for them.

So why do they think I'll stop now?

Don't be like the Silent Majority in the 60's and 70's
Demand Kerry be ousted from the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

I can't believe this is even being considered an apology. She states that she does not apologize for using our POW's or broadcasting on Radio Hanoi. She betrayed our country, prolonged the war causing a multitude of deaths, humiliated our POW's, and provided aid and comfort to our enemy. She is lying to our country and herself. The lowlife deserves to be in prison not giving interviews to the general public.

"General question. Is there a lower low than to be considered a traitor?"

General answer. Yes. Being a traitor has served a senator very well, not to mention numerous famous, billionaire hollywood weirdos.

(this answer does not reflect the beliefs of the author or this sight but only serves as an accurate observation)
