A former prisoner of war in Vietnam tells the following story about one pathetic pawn of KGB disinformation, Jane Fonda. In 1978, there was a meeting in Hanoi between American POWs and a "peace delegation" led by Fonda, who had gone to north Vietnam without U.S. approval. In order to let the world know that they were still alive, the American prisoners secretly palmed tiny slips of paper with their Social Security numbers on them. As they were paraded before Jane Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line and asked polite little questions, such as: "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, the prisoners all slipped her their messages. She took them all, but once the camera stopped rolling, she turned to the north Vietnamese officer in charge and handed him the little pile of papers. Three prisoners died from their subsequent beatings.
