Jane Fonda: I Will Go to My Grave with 'Unforgivable Mistake'

Jane Fonda: I Will Go to My Grave with 'Unforgivable Mistake': "Fonda said she knew immediately that she had made a mistake and has apologized repeatedly, both privately and publicly.

She told OWN program “Oprah’s Master Class” that the event happened on the last day of her visit. She was tired, she said, and didn’t want to attend.

"I don't know if I was set up or not,” she said. “I was an adult. I take responsibility for my actions."

The soldiers sang a song and Fonda joined in with her “feeble Vietnamese.”

As everyone was laughing and singing, Fonda was led to a gun site, where she sat down.

“And I was laughing and clapping, and there were pictures taken."

As she walked away, Fonda says she suddenly realized that the pictures would be seen in the United States — and they would not look good."

Aaron Swartz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "PACER was charging 8 cents per page for information that Carl Malamud, who founded the nonprofit group Public.resource.org, contended should be free, because government-produced documents are not covered by copyright.[39][40] The fees were "...plowed back to the courts to finance technology, but the system [ran] a budget surplus of some $150 million, according to court reports," reported the New York Times.[39] PACER used technology that was "...designed in the bygone days of screechy telephone modems... put[ting] the nation’s legal system behind a wall of cash and kludge."[39] Malamud appealed to fellow activists, urging them to visit one of 17 libraries conducting a free trial of the PACER system, download court documents, and send them to him for public distribution.[39][40]"
