In the interest of fairness, you need to add the following:

The most serious accusations in the piece quoted above -- that Fonda turned over slips of paper furtively given her by American POWS to the North Vietnamese and that several POWs were beaten to death as a result -- are proveably untrue. Those named in the inflammatory e-mail categorically deny the events they supposedly were part of.

"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. "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.

She's still a sack of crap, a treasonous, vile, sack of crap who ought to have been prosecuted for what she did and should be soundly ignored now. But let's tar her with an accurate brush, at least.

Thanks ... and it's true, we shouldn't mislead here at FR, and it wasn't my intention to do so about Jane.

My excerpt was limited to 300 words ... the overall thrust of the whole article is that Jane Fonda is a pathetic woman, who did, in deed, engage in treasonous acts, many of which harmed POWs.
