Well, then, I wonder why Colonel Hunt was so adamant about it. It is still an "unsolved mystery" in my mind. That story had to come from somewhere, and I can't quite imagine Colonel Hunt, who is a regular guest on Fox, and actually a Fox News analyst, telling all about it, if it's bogus. Could be that his own sources are just passing along an untrue urban legend, but that would then say that Hunt is loose with his fact-checking procedures.
Can you just imagine how old Henry Fonda felt during that time in history? DId he ever talk about it?
I don't know the answer to that.
TruthOrFiction.com also contacted Mike McGrath, President of NAM-POWs, who says the Larry Carrigan events never happened either. He says Carrigan calls the story a "hoax" and does not want to be associated with it. McGrath also says that some versions of the email include an account from a Dave Hoffman and that his story is true. Hoffman says he was tortured (hung by a broken arm) until he agreed to go before Jane Fonda. He was among a small group who witnessed one of her radio broadcasts for Hanoi.
I have a personal friend that was a "guest" in the Hanoi Hilton for the last 45 days before their release-- he detests her so much he refuses to watch any movies with her in them, whether they're free or not. That's good enough for me. I'm a vet too (though not old enough for Vietnam), and so maybe that makes me more sympathetic.
If any of you youngsters out there don't understand why she's such a lightning rod for criticism, corner a Vietnam vet sometime and ask them what those days were like.
I actually heard her say on one of the book tour interviews that her activities "hurt her father very deeply."
Supposedly, that "On Golden Pond" movie was supposed to be a kind of act of reconciliation on her part, just before Henry died. If I'd done something like that to my father, I would be curled up in a hole somewhere for the rest of my life, but she's walzing around making money on a screw ball book, which would be of no significance whatsoever, if her name weren't Fonda! That also irritates me.
Jane Who?

She's lucky it was just tobacco juice INSTEAD of the traditional punishment for traitors.
If Jane Fonda and Saddam Hussein were both drowning and you had only one chance at getting a life preserver to either one of them. Would you..
A. Have spaghetti for Dinner.
B. Go out to a good movie.
C. Take a nap.
Ted's popping off about Christianity also has cost him - and unless he gets straightened out before he dies, he will really pay for his nastiness.

Could find no mention of George Soros. Doesn't appear to be HIS organization.
Do you have sources to the contrary?
Plus, how cynical to put forth phony apologies, just to hype your new movie and revive your career as an actress. Which is what this all about.
Hang 'em High!
John Kerry says he is a Christian, but don't tell him what God says on any subject!
Jane Fonda is a ultra-liberal period! Abortion Supporter, Gay Marriage advocate, Anti-Military, America hating BITCH!!
She's a pathetic little nobody with no life plain and simple. Don't hate her PITY her.

Colonel Hunt is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. If Fonda, who is scum, did this, it would not be hard for someone to site a source. No has produced one yet here.
Don't believe everything you hear on Fox News, and I would cite you to Andrew McCarthy's NRO devastation of Judge Napolitano's views of the Patriot Act.
She deserves what she is getting.
