| Yeap according to the US military Stars and Stripes News Paper that I read today it had this to say about it:
She was born on July 4, 1916 to Japanese immigrants in Compton California. She spoke almost no Japanese and was raised as an American. In June 1921 she was sent to care for her mothers dyeing sister in Japan and the week she was supposed to return to the United States was when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. She asked Japanese athorities to imprison her with the other US citizens in Japan and was forced to work on the English Language "Zero Hour" a Radio Tokyo show mannaed by Allied Prisoners that aired from 1943 to 1945.
The show that she aired on was not propaganda but rather produced by POWs for POWs and there families.
In 1945 she was actually proven to have commited no crime by Gen. Douglas McArthur and the US Justice Department but was prosecuted in 1949 and served 6 years in prison.
She recieved a Presidential Pardon in 1977 and was even hailed a hero by former servicemen and POWs that served in the Pacific who wanted to right "a grotesque miscarriage of justice" as said by James Roberts, president of the WW2 Veterans Committee.
In Janueary she recieved from the Committe the J. Herlihy Citizenship Award.
Also according to the Artical there was not one Tokyo Rose (with whom she was wrongfully accused) but rather more than a dozen.
When they prosecuted her wrongly they were prosectuing a myth not the person.
All this from the Stars and Stripes Friday Sept 29, 2006 issue.
