If you wouldn't understand you wouldn't be mislead...

At first I wasn't sure what bighorn was saying. I understood "who" Tokyo Rose was. Only it wasn't just 1 person, was it? It was a whole idea. So having one person who was suspected of it pass on, does not mean that the thing that is referred to as "Tokyo Rose" has died. I think he's saying *that* part is misleading.
-
Hmmm, I am pretty sure 'Tokyo Rose' was a single person, same a 'Lord Haha' in Europe.
-
"Tokyo Rose was the name given by soldiers to a female radio broadcaster responsible for anti-American transmissions intended to demoralize soldiers fighting in the Pacific theater. D'Aquino was the only U.S. citizen identified among the potential suspects."
Maybe he means it's misleading that she's died when only one of many suspects has passed away.
-
U.S. Authorities decided that the evidence then known did not merit prosecution, and she was released.
A subsequent public furor convinced the Justice Department that the matter should be re-examined and D'Aquino was arrested in Yokohama in 1945 and tried.
Yates found D'Aquino's accusers who said they were pressured by prosecutors to lie.
We don't know for sure if Iva Toguri D'Aquino was in fact 'Tokyo Rose' and I couldn't find a word in article which claims that, therefore the title is misleading.
Original title is Woman pardoned as 'Tokyo Rose' dies at 90, and not Tokyo Rose' dies at 90, big difference...

My dad was on Okinawa and he always said they listened to her because she played the best swing music, better then they got from armed service radio anyway and most times good for a laugh. So now that she joined my father in the great beyond he might just tip his cap to her.

"In September 1945, after the press had reported that Aquino was “Tokyo Rose,” U.S. Army authorities arrested her. The FBI and the Army’s Counterintelligence Corps conducted an extensive investigation to determine whether Aquino had committed crimes against the U.S. By the following October, authorities decided that the evidence then known did not merit prosecution, and she was released."

"Nevertheless, influential gossip columnist Walter Winchell lobbied against D'Aquino in 1948 upon learning of her attempt to return home. D'Aquino, forcibly separated from her husband, was brought to San Francisco, on September 25, 1948, where the FBI charged her with the crime of treason for "adhering to, and giving aid and comfort to, the Imperial Government of Japan during World War II"."
http://www.google.com/search?q=Morley+Safer
"President Ford pardoned Mrs. D’Aquino, on his last full day in office, after she had appealed to him in writing. The decision was supported by a unanimous vote of the California state legislature, the national Japanese-American Citizens League, and S. I. Hayakawa, then a United States Senator-elect from California. Previously an investigation by Chicago Tribune reporter Ron Yates located Toguri's accusers, who publicly admitted they had committed perjury, claiming they had lied under oath under pressure from prosecutors, which was followed by a Morley Safer report on the television news program 60 Minutes."

Didn't you see the movie with Dennis Weaver? Dr. Mudd was never executed but was released and eventually pardoned (by Carter I think).

Seriously, it was a good movie. I think it was a TV movie in the late 70's so if you're under 35 or so you probably don't recall it. I doubt its been rerun much.

Ted Turner did a good job with his movie version of what happened.

Take a trip there sometime, and imagine how the heck all those prisoners lived there. The little stream that perpetuated all the malaria and yellow fever is still there. I think they're even rebuilding the wall around the camp. There was a short section, maybe 100 meters, there when I visited in '97

Oh man, that's a hard one... He deserves a hint.
The regiment was from the first state to secede from the union. Its number is the square root of 324.

They were NC troops. I do not know the actual regiment number, but they were NC troops that were in Gen. Jackson's corps.
I thought SC was the first to secede?
