DATELINE: 940617 LENGTH:
Oliver North said on ``Larry King Live'' that he had more respect for Jane Fonda than Bill Clinton because at least, she went to Vietnam. To the enemy!
{REST} This was an unpopular war, and free speech is all right if kept in our country, but to embrace the enemy is treason. No sane person would think helping the enemy deserves respect.
Every service person who went to war is a hero. Many suffered mental problems and should not be ashamed of it, but Oliver North's mental records have conveniently disappeared.
North (I call him Houdini) says he had secret meetings with Bill Casey and President Reagan. Strange that neither Casey, his wife, President Reagan nor the Secret Service saw him. When called on his lies, his reply is he ``was misunderstood.''
My anger is that any power-happy, egomaniac, so-called Christian can say and do anything he wants to serve his purpose.
Please, America, listen to our military leaders who know this man; he is dangerous.
