Hanoi Hilton, soldiers slipped her their SS#'s and she turned them in to their captors. This can't be true....

4. Snopes.

This was thoroughly refuted two years ago.

David Hackworth -- certainly not a fan of Jane Fonda -- also has a page on it.

It's just another piece of disinfo.

6. yeah check snopes

"The most serious accusations in the piece quoted above -- that Fonda turned over slips of paper furtively given her by American POWS to the North Vietnamese and that several POWs were beaten to death as a result -- are proveably untrue. Those named in the inflammatory e-mail categorically deny the events they supposedly were part of."

7. It can't be true, and of course . . .

It isn't. I guess some of the Bible ravers missed that passage about not bearing false witness while they were ascending their high horses.

8. Rove is trying to flush Jane Fonda out to speak in Kerry's defense

I hope it doesn't happen.
