McCain, Paul Spar Over Jane Fonda - Washington Wire - WSJ
Mr. McCain, a longtime prisoner of war in Vietnam, responded to that Thursday, saying that clearly Ms. Fonda was not an enemy combatant and the idea that the executive branch could kill an American citizen who isn’t an enemy combatant is just not true.
“The use of Jane Fonda’s name does evoke certain memories with me, and I must say she is not my favorite American … but as odious as it was [for her to go to North Vietnam], Ms. Fonda acted within her constitutional rights.” He added, the notion “that the United States of America would drop a Hellfire missile on Jane Fonda brings a serious discussion into the realm of the ridiculous.”
