> Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the

> Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still
> Countless others have never known how Ms.
> Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country,

> The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot

> The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

> In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF
> Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison
> The "Hanoi Hilton."
>
> Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
> Cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was
> Ordered to describe for a visiting American
> "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane
> Treatment" he'd received.
>
> He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was
> Dragged away.
> During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
> On to the camp Commandant 'S feet, which
> Sent that officer berserk.
>
> In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from
> Double vision (which permanently ended his
> Flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied
> Application of a wooden baton.
>
> From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the
> 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the
> "Hanoi Hilton",,, the first three of which his
> Family only knew he was "missing in action".
> His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
> His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and
> Clothed routine in preparation for a
> "peace delegation" visit.
> They, however, had time and devised a plan to
> Get word to the world that they were alive
> And still survived. Each man secreted a tiny
> Piece of paper, with his Social Security Number
> On it, i n the palm of his hand.
>
> When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a
> Cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each
> man's hand and asking little encouraging
> Snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed
> Babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane
> Treatment from your benevolent captors?"
> Believing this HAD to be an act, they each
> Palmed her their sliver of paper.
> She took them all without missing a beat. At the
> End of the line and once the camera stopped
> Rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,
> She turned to the officer in charge and handed
> Him all the little pieces of paper.
>
> Three men died from the subsequent beatings.
> Colonel Carrigan was almost number four
> But he survived, which is the only reason we
> Know of her actions that day.
>
> I was a civilian economic development advisor
> In Vietnam , and was captured by the North
> Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in
> 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
>
> I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one
> Year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year
> In a "black box" in Hanoi
> My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
> Poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a
> Nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South
> Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the
> Cambodian border.
> At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs
>
> We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
>
> When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by
> The camp communist political officer if I would
> Be willing to meet with her.
>
> I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real
> Treatment we POWs received... And how
> Different it was from the treatment purported by
> The North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as
> "humane and lenient."
>
> Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky
> Floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched
> With a large steel weights placed on my hands,
> And beaten with a bamboo cane.
>
> I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda
> Soon after I was released. I asked her
> If she would be willing to debate me on TV.
> She never did answer me.
>
> These first-hand experiences do not exemplify
> Someone who should be honored as part
> Of "100 Years of Great Women."
> Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women"

> There are few things I have strong visceral

> Please take the time to forward to as many
