Terrorist Back in Jail

What the hell is going on in California?

Former Symbionese Liberation Army radical Sara Jane Olson went back to prison Saturday after just five days as a free woman.

State corrections officials said they released Olson early because of a "clerical error." They said she must now return to a women's prison in Chowchilla to serve as many as two more years for her role in crimes including the 1975 murder of a Carmichael woman during a bank robbery.

"We understand how sensitive the impact of such an error has on all involved in this case and regret the mistake," said Scott Kernan, chief of adult operations for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, at an afternoon news conference in Sacramento.

Mistake? You allowed a woman who was involved in a murder and bombed police to leave prison early due to a clerical error. That's not a mistake, that's a clear sign that the state of California is a bloated bureaucracy that is seriously flawed to the core.

Soliah is a terrorist and should have been sentenced to life but was allowed to leave because of good behavior and the fact that she picked up some cigarette butts in the parking lot. I do enjoy the fact that she thought she was free and had her freedom taking away again. I'm of a mind with Ed on this.

This is probably the greatest argument for maintaining Gitmo I've yet seen.
