This is part of an urban myth. See

You really should try to separate fact from fiction before you repost
lies about living people. e.g:


# Claim: A POW spit at Fonda, for which he was brutally beaten.

# Status: FALSE.

This story is attributed in the email to former Air Force pilot Jerry
Driscoll, who says it's false and did not originate from him. I wasn't
able to speak with him directly, but Mike McGrath and Paul Galanti,
fellow officers of the Nam-POWs organization to which Driscoll belongs,
told me he unequivocally disavows the story.

[UPDATE: After this commentary was written I received personal
confirmation from Jerry Driscoll that the story is indeed bogus – as he
put it, "the product of a very vivid imagination."]


# Claim: Fonda betrayed POWs by turning over slips of paper they gave
her to their captors. POWs were beaten and died as a result.

# Status: FALSE.

"It's a figment of somebody's imagination," says Ret. Col. Larry
Carrigan, whom I reached by phone at his home in Arizona. Carrigan, who
was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, says he has no idea why this
story was attributed to him. "I never met Jane Fonda," he told me. It
goes without saying he never handed her a secret message.

He said he did see Jane Fonda once while he was a POW – on film. The
occasion was a night when Carrigan and the other 80 or so men he was
interned with were called out into the prison courtyard – "the first
time we'd been outside under the stars in 5 or 6 years." As the men
stood there wondering what was in store for them, a movie projector
began whirring behind them. Their captors were showing them footage of
Fonda's 1972 visit to Hanoi.
