Am I the only one who just wants to beat this woman in the face with a baseball bat?

It's disgusting. I mean those soldiers in Vietnam were just trying to get word to their families that they were ok and alive. Fonda freaking gives the notes to the prison gaurds and the men are executed.

Myth. Never happened. As much as I do not like mizzzzz Fonda, and as much as I want this tale to be true, it is unfortunately not.

The government has to pay for lawyers, appeals (death penalty cases get free appeals and representation), health care, etc.

Lemme help the government out a bit. I've got a CZ pistol, a .40 bullet, and a shovel waiting for some action. There's nothing humane about the death sentance, and personally I feel the government trys to make too "neat".

Just take 'em out back. Army said it right the first time...

Treason ends at the muzzle.

I am not pro or anti death penalty. I do believe, however, that if you're going to take away someone's life, you better be DAMN sure that you're right before you "take 'em out back." Yes, the government should pay for appeals and lawyers... death isn't something you can undo if, in fact, you're wrong.

as defined by the United States Constitution, "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."

what she is doing is espionage, treason is during war times. sorry, but a "War on Terror" is more of a police action (ie. Viet Nam) than a war.

what she did is wrong and should by a Congressional desision be put to death. who cares if she has breast cancer? just because she has a mass of cells excessivly undergoing mitosis should give her a reason to get a get out of jail free card? what would have happened if she had gotten life in prision and THEN gotten cancer? would she get out then? i hate lawers that try this loophole bull-arky.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

I guess I don't understand how breast cancer and prison correlate? Are you not still entitled to recieve
medical care in prison? ?

Prison is in no way a proper place to live with cancer. It is not all you see on TV. I have spoken with convicts. Many have said what you seeon TV is completely flawed...

Also, just becuase you are entitled to medical care does not mean you will get the best care possible.

She's old... she needs to die anyways to make room for the younger generation.

If it was true, then we could hang the cow.

[warbeak2099]

Huh, I didn't know that was a myth. Well, she still corroborated with the enemy and that bloody picture of her at the flak gun... ugh.

Just because we can not say that we are specifically fighting against a country (we are only fighting some of Iraq), it is still a war. We are in a war against several groups that are known as terrorists. This lady helped the enemy by passing along messages from captured enemies. It seems blatantly obvious that she meant it because if you had put other Americans' lives in danger, then you would be sorry. She isn't sorry so we shouldn't be either if we were to publicly executer her on the steps of the Supreme Court.

At least that's what I'd like to see.
