Are we supposed to feel sorry for nasty, horrible people?

Yep. I think Jesus said it best when he said "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do."

I believe he was talking about some pretty nasty, horrible people at the time.

I’m not half the decent person Christ was. In fact, Christ was divine and no one can measure up.

It’s true, what you say.

Also, though, consider reading what the POWs went through in Hanoi, and their families back home.

The torture was very bad, and surely they drew on the example of Jesus to get through it. It’s all written down and published. there are artifacts, as well. sketches, prison uniforms, etc.

Having a fellow countryman (woman) visit and give comfort to the enemy, the torturers, and to, as many have stated, aid them in doing so, is a special insult to consider before telling them to turn the other cheek. I don’t propose to speak for them nor to ascribe hatred nor religiosity to them.

Just, find out about what happened.

Part of the story is that she has not been brought to justice.
