Jane Fonda and the Axis of Weasel
As Redvet posted on Usenet about Jane Fonda "Nor was she the only one who visited during those years, just one of the last....". It would be interesting to match these names and organizations against lists found in the secret police archives of the Soviet Union, East Germany, Romania, Czechoslovakia, etc. Defectors Lunev (USSR, KGB/GRU info) and Pacepa (head of Romanian spy services) have both said that communist spy agencies financed American antiwar groups. North Vietnamese army colonel Tin Bui said the communist leadership in Hanoi was encouraged by Jane Fonda and others to hang on.
Redvet has posted this list on UseNet several times.
