As a South African, I am painfully aware that Nelson Mandela and many members of our present government were imprisoned for many years as terrorists. Even many members of the media were harassed and imprisoned here and labelled as terrorists for showing the truth. Meanwhile the most despicable acts of terror were conducted by the apartheid regime which was for many years covertly befriended by many western nations such as the USA and UK. Let us not jump to hasty hasty conclusions in either direction when viewing Lori Berenson unless we have enough multi-sided information to decide her case for ourselves, and let us not relegate each other to the trash bin over our differences.
