I have seen the slip of paper story before. It may not be true. However, she did visit and offer aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. That is, under our constitution, the defination of treason. They electrocuted the Rosenbergs for less. She has apologized. Good for her. Most of my comrades who fought in Vietnam didn't agree with our government's policies. As a vet, however, I firmly believe that Ms. Fonda should have been brought to trial for her "mistakes". Her choice of how to express her opinion was criminal on it's face. Even though the war was not declared, she still gave aid and comfort to the enemy. They Jailed Iva Toguri for playing music under duress after the second world war. Ask Ms Toguri what she thinks is fair. Kindest reguards, Neil
