#9  LIMA, Peru - Paroled U.S. activist Lori Berenson said Saturday that she and her toddler son were not permitted to leave Peru, despite being granted permission in court to spend the holidays in New York with her family. "They didn't let me leave and they're putting out this version that I arrived late," she said.

Like the Hotel California===>You can check out, but you can't leave. Hope this is true for this terrorist.

#8  If she would of slept with judge she probably would've gotten released earlier.

#7  The first sentence of this article is far better than I expected from the MSM.

I guess journalists can't use the word 'terrorist' unless they're referring to an American conservative. But 'aiding Marxist insurgents' gets the point across to the discerning reader. I was afraid the various news pieces this morning were going to refer to her as a 'community organizer', though 'community organizer' and 'Marxist insurgent' are pretty much the same thing these days. Just ask the OWS types.

The other thing I like is the whole bit about her lawyer who just happens to be Baby-Daddy to her child. I guess the code of legal ethics is different in Peru.

She's not an "activist", Press Association That Can Not Be Named, she's a terrorist. A convicted one.

#4  Worse than that quote, Frank, is this one:

A student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before becoming involved in social justice issues in Latin America, Berenson was pulled off a bus in Lima 16 years ago and charged with belonging to the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, an urban guerrilla group.

Note to self: carefully pick two of three: 1) attend MIT; 2) ride Peruvian buses; 3) Join notorious "urban guerrilla" terrorist group.

#2  While behind bars, she became known as an accomplished baker, participated in talent shows of inmates, and had a child with her lawyer, Anibal Apari, a former member of the MRTA.

"have a cupcake! I made it with my own yeast."

#1  Mods: "Peru Returns Some American Terrorist Garbage"

Lori Berenson back in the US, on the "promise" that she will return to Peru someday. Great. She'll pick up some bread on the leftist "Two hours of hating America" lecture circuit, and go to work for some George Soros organization.

Return to Peru? Not going to happen. She'll just abandon her terrorist lawyer husband and child there.
