Hanoi Jane Comes Out of Hiding

Well, it seems that "Hanoi Jane" Fonda has finally resurfaced after a thirty plus year hiatus. Yes, Traitor Jane is back and in good voice I hear. During her speech at the anti-war rally in D.C. this last weekend, she made a big splash announcing that she was coming (back) out of the closet. As she stood shoulder to shoulder with the great Sean "Turncoat" Penn, and others on the platform, one could only travel back through time and have visions of the late sixties and early seventies.

What I do not understand, and haven't for some time, is why Hanoi Jane was never prosecuted for aiding and abetting the enemy during her earlier protest years. She was allowed to slide away like a snake in the night. Don't get me wrong. Protesting the war was one thing, but actually going to North Vietnam and parading around with the V.C., posing for pictures, and then after the release of the POW's she called them liars when they spoke out about their treatment by the North. Then somehow at the end of the war, she slithered back under her rock, never to be heard from (somewhat) for thirty years.

Now they anti-war groupies have two favorite daughters they can tag along with, Cindy and Jane. What effect will Hanoi Jane have, who knows. But you can pretty much rest assured that it will be negative.
