Jane Fonda Says North Vietnam Visit Was Betrayal POSTED: 11:49 am PST March 31, 2005 UPDATED: 12:15 pm PST March 31, 2005 NEW YORK -- Actress Jane Fonda says she betrayed American troops in 1972, when she visited an anti-aircraft gun site in North Vietnam. AP Jane Fonda Photos of a helmet-wearing Fonda sitting in a gun seat earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." "The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal ... the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine," Fonda told Leslie Stahl in a "60 Minutes" interview for its next broadcast. The actress said she does not regret meeting with American POW's while she was there, or making broadcasts on Radio Hanoi. Fonda said she felt the U.S. government was lying to Americans about the Vietnam war, and she had to do something about the men dying there. Her memoir, "Jane Fonda: My Life So Far," comes out next week.

Smith Thursday, April 25, 2002 Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji recently cracked a joke about the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Zhu told the joke to a captive audience of Asian executives during the April Bao business conference held on Hainan Island. Zhu's remarks came during a question-and-answer session with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. According to Zhu, "Japan bought many huge buildings in New York, but luckily they didn't buy the World Trade Center. If they had bought them, now the Japanese would be sadder than the Americans." Zhu's joke was quickly followed by a long round of laughter and applause from the Asian businessmen. Ironically, Japan lost two citizens aboard one of the hijacked airplanes, and 24 Japanese citizens are still missing in the remains of the World Trade Center. The remarks by Zhu underscore other events of Sept. 11 that received little or no coverage. On that fateful day a group of Chinese reporters were being given an official tour by the U.S. State Department. The Chinese reporters witnessed the terror attacks against the Twin Towers live on television along with several U.S. press members and their State Department guides. Chinese Press Cheers Attack According to several U.S. reporters, the Chinese journalists broke into cheers and applause when the second 767 struck the World Trade Center. Several Chinese journalists reportedly exchanged "high-fives" celebrating the successful attack on America. The U.S. State Department guides, aware that the incident was now a major embarrassment, quickly shut down the TV set and hustled the Chinese journalists back to the PRC embassy. The tension between Beijing and Washington may not be so obvious, but it still circulates beneath any official meetings. Chinese Vice President Hu Jintao is expected to visit Washington on Saturday. Hu plans to meet with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. What a time to kick us in the dirt. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

AP Interview: Hamas recruit says he was trained in militant camp in Syria March 29, 2005 7:20 PM EST ASHKELON, Israel - A 20-year-old Palestinian recruited from a mosque in Gaza by Hamas militants told The Associated Press in a jailhouse interview that he received weeks of military training in a Hamas camp in Syria this year. The allegations by Osama Mattar, now in Israeli custody, mark the first time a Palestinian has spoken publicly about being trained in Syria, and contradict repeated Syrian denials. The training base outside Damascus was far from secret and was once even inspected by Syrian intelligence agents, Mattar said Tuesday. "They know very well about the presence of Hamas," he said. "What they may not have known about was the presence of a guy from Gaza coming to train at the training camp in Syria." Israel has long accused Syria of allowing Palestinian militants to train there and offered up Mattar - arrested March 2 as he tried to cross back into Gaza - as proof. Israeli officials also said the timeframe of Mattar's five-week training, which ended in mid-February, proved Hamas was not serious about halting attacks on Israel. Mattar disagreed, saying his trip had been planned months before any talk of a cease-fire. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other militant groups have acknowledged they train Palestinians in Lebanon. Hamas officials declined public comment Tuesday, but said privately it made no sense to run training bases in Syria when it can use neighboring Lebanon, home to sprawling Palestinian refugee camps. Syrian officials at the Foreign Ministry, who are usually slow to respond to such sensitive topics, were not available for comment Tuesday, despite repeated attempts by The Associated Press. With Western pressure on Syria mounting to curtail military activity, militant groups have been careful not to embarrass their hosts in Damascus. While many militant leaders remain in Syria, they issue most of their statements from Lebanon. Syria has repeatedly denied accusations it allows militants to train on its territory. The Syrian government says it once allowed militants to run media offices from Damascus, but those were closed after a visit by then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in May 2003. On Oct. 5, 2003, Israel bombed what it said was an Islamic Jihad training camp in Syria after the group carried out a suicide bombing at a Haifa cafe that killed 19 Israelis. Syria said at the time the base had been long abandoned. With relations between Israel and the Palestinian leadership warming in recent months, Israel has stepped up its accusations against Syria. Israel blamed a Feb. 25 suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that killed five people on Islamic Jihad militants following orders from their leaders in Damascus and said it held Syria responsible. Israeli officials say Syria continues to be a hub for Palestinian militants. "There is ongoing intelligence information that the terrorist groups working out of Syria are directly responsible for suicide bombings in Israel and continue to function and operate with the facilitation of the government in Syria," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev. "We see today a growing understanding in the international community of the Syrian regime's collaboration with terrorist groups." During a more than two-hour interview, Mattar gave a detailed description of what he said was his training in Syria. His account could not be verified independently. Though he spoke in the presence of Israeli security officials at the Shikma prison in Ashkelon, Mattar appeared relaxed and seemed to be speaking freely. Occasionally, he glanced at a security official for permission to answer, which was often granted with a casual nod. Security officials said Mattar has not been charged, and he has not been accused of carrying out attacks. Asked why he agreed to the interview, Mattar, who spoke mostly in Arabic, said in English, "I have no choice." When pressed, he said in Arabic he had not been forced to do the interview, but did not elaborate on his motive. Mattar said he had been recruited by Hamas more than two years ago at his mosque in the Jebaliya refugee camp, a militant area in northern Gaza that has been the frequent target of Israeli raids over the past four years. Last year, he was asked to go to Syria for training, with the intention of training other militants in Gaza. Mattar left Gaza on Dec. 4, telling Israeli border guards he was going to study at Damascus University, which he had previously attended. He re-enrolled in the university to maintain his cover and waited 25 days for Hamas to contact him, he said. He then received five days of training in personal safety. He was taught what car to drive - not a Subaru, known as the militants' preferred car. Where to live - not in an isolated house, which can easily be targeted by an Israeli missile. How to keep his cell phone secure - regularly change the phone, the phone number and even the battery, he said. After that, he was given a rendezvous point and driven to the Hamas training base 40 minutes outside the capital. Nearly every day, he was taken to the base for five hours of training by nine instructors in everything from electronics to weapons. He gave only vague descriptions of the base, saying it was in a valley and appeared old and well-established. It contained a garage, several buildings, watchtowers and a tunnel, he said. Mattar - who said he was the only militant being trained at the time - was taught to read maps and use a compass, to build an electric timer for a time bomb and how to use light weapons. He fired rocket-propelled grenades and threw hand grenades, he said. One day, his trainers told him to hide, he said. "Syrian intelligence came in, took a look around and left," he said. No one else hid, and he assumed the militants did not want the Syrian government to know they were training a Palestinian from Gaza. In February, Mattar told his trainers he wanted to go home and they agreed. -- This kid might find it safer in Canada Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteYou think we would have learned about insurgents from Vietnam? Guess not. There isn't enough technology or troops to defeat a mindset and those with the passion and dedication to defend it. There wasn't much of an insurgency left in South Vietnam after Tet 68. By then we were fighting North Vietnamese regulars. Massive B52 raids brought the North Vietnamese to the Paris Peace Talks. Without Watergate and the peace talks, we would have bombed them back to the stone age. I'm glad we did not. I think in Iraq the growing mindset of the people is to rid the country of outside influence, kill the insurgency so those Americans will leave. They are starting to take a bigger part in the fighting. Even neighborhood store keepers are fighting back. They have a taste of freedom and they want to keep it. After we leave, who knows? Maybe it will stick. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Ride free and die or jump free and die: you should not be a burden on the American taxpayer. When I first started riding, I had an old biker tell me, "Helmets are good for an open casket". I was thinking about that the one and only time I hit 100 mph on my Roadking without a helmet. Over the years, I have met four people who claimed a helmet saved their life (they were well under 100mph). spell correction Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
