>OT< Well, you're both right.

The fact that McNamara and many, many more among the US "powers that be" were wrong, or even malignant, in sticking our collective US nose where it had no business, at the cost of 50,000 american lives, doesn't preclude Jane Fonda being guilty of aiding and abetting our declared enemy at the cost of torture and abuse to our POWs. Plenty of stupidity to go around, I'd say.

OT: Rehashing the past, redux

Haim,

Re: , it was send to me by an attorney who I respect and thinking it was true.

This reminds me of the one where a junior partner in a Washington firm is sent to an Texas to defend a pair of long-term clients accused of embezzlement (Think Ken Lay and Andy Fast-One). After years of trial, the case is won, the clients acquitted and released.

Excited about his success, the attorney emails his firm:
"Justice prevailed."

The senior partner sends an Instant Message(TM): "Appeal immediately!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Checking sources and verifying them isn't a matter of hearsay. Your attorney ought to know that. If Fonda's acts were treasonous, she would hang. There's been no effort to prosecute her. Do you wonder why not? Or is that something you need to refer to your "attorney"? Anyone who would have been responsible, as your irresponsible post indicates was guilty of complicity in the murder of POWs would surely not have gotten away with it in America. After all, we're still prosecuting grandfathers who made the mistake of taking down a CHIPs officer in the early '60's. We are a vengeful nation, and it boggles my mind that if Fonda was actually guilty of the crimes you alluded to, that she wouldn't be facing a huge prosecutorial effort.

Your view that Fonda is equally guilty as McNamara is dismissed out of hand. McNamara is protected because he's an inside player. Fonda had no such protection. If she were guilty of anything, she'd be prosecuted.

Best, Ray
