American Appeals to Court by Apologizing for Helping Rebels
2010-08-17
Seemed like a good idea at the time ....
American Lori Berenson apologized Monday for aiding leftist rebels and asked a Peruvian court to let her remain free on parole after serving 15 years of her 20-year sentence behind bars.
Maybe another title might be "Useful Idiot Thinks She "Gets It" After Spending 15 Years Behind Bars". Personally, I think another five years would do the trick.

#7  this little trust-fund revolutionary tourist should suffer the fate of so many of her favored movement's opponents. Execute her. The world and the gene pool will thank you

#6  It is interesting how being put in a cell with no roof on top of the Andes causes an attitude adjustment.

#4  I think she should be given the same consideration her terrorist movement was offering to give everyone else. Murder and slavery.

If she is allowed to return to the US, she will make a fortune spreading her vile gospel to leftist groups all over the country. They will write a book for her, and she will keep the profits, while spewing bile and hatred at America like a lawn sprayer.

Hell, MSNBC will probably give her a show next to Olbermann.

#3  Ah, she has a medical issue. She must be released; after all, she's a victim!

#1  The 40-year-old New York activist acknowledged collaborating with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, but said she was never a member of the group nor involved in violent acts.

"If my coming to Peru has meant harm to the country, I am sorry and I regret it," she told the criminal appeals court in Lima.


Note all the conditionals. She admits nothing and is not sorry at all for what she did. Let her rot.
