Abstract
The paper reviews and analyzes four articles for their relevancy and relationship to Tokyo Rose and her eventual arrest and trial. The paper examines how Siemaszko argues in favor of Iva Toguri D'Aquino's innocence as the alleged "Tokyo Rose" and participation in treason activities, while Hayes provides only a passing reference to Tokyo Rose with no reference to the woman's identity. The paper shows how in Davies' and Horne's articles there are fact-based, unbiased presentations of "Tokyo Rose," the allegations against D'Aquino, and the trial that spawned additional and ongoing controversy. The paper selects Davies' article as the most non-biased, reporting only the facts as available during the onset and period of the trial. The paper includes a copy of Hayes' article as an appendix to the paper.

From the Paper
"News of Tokyo Rose continues to fill media outlet's headlines decades after the controversy. In fact, a recent article published by the New York Daily News (Siemaszko: July 3, 2006) asserts that at the age of 90, the alleged Tokyo Rose, Iva Toguri is still "imprisoned by a myth." In spite of being pardoned by President Gerald Ford and being "embraced" by U.S. veterans groups, Toguri continues to experience the "shame and stigma" of the alleged actions of treason. Toguri does not like publicity and declined a personal interview by Siemaszko."

Abstract
The paper discusses ideas put forth by Stanley Karnow, in his book "In Our Image: America?s Empire in the Philippines" that America attempted to make over the Philippines into a nation in America's image, in political, economic and religious terms. The paper shows that because this re-manufacture of imaging was done on an unequal basis, with the Philippines assumed to be inferior child to the parental and patriarchal re-manufacturing nature of America, the relationship between the two nations, in Karnow's envisioning, was almost doomed to be exploitative.

From the Paper
Karnow is particularly harsh on the United States in describing the way the Reagan administration propped up the Marcoses. The administration's justification for doing this was anti-communism, that Marcos was an anti-Communist in a world beset by an evil empire. However, Karnow does not exculpate this Philippine president from all blame, even though he is merciless when discussing Reagan's initial refusal to help return Marcos from exile after his loss to Nicky Aquino in the first fair presidential elections in the land. Karnow admits President Aquino's later eroding popularity and its impact on the Philippines.
