If you have time, the article needs a lot more work

==The person and the role==
Considering that there never was any one person called "Tokyo Rose", maybe we should organize this article differently. Here are the sections (or pages) we need:
* Iva's biography, focusing on her career as a wartime radio announcer, the US gov't investigation into her career, legal actions (arrest, punishment, pardon)
* Japanese radio broadcasts aimed at lowering GI morale, including any English speaking announcers who volunteered or were coerced, the effects these broadcasts actually had, and how the moniker "Tokyo Rose" came to be applied (and how many different 'Tokyo Roses' their were). Were there similar European broadcasts? How about in later wars, e.g., [[Hanoi Hanna]]?
I think you'd be the best writer to report on these aspects. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:36, 17 December 2008 (EST)
