Judge orders Lori Berenson freed from Peru prison
By Associated Press

1. She didn't show any emotion! Well after umpteen years in a Peruvian Prison
I doubt I'd be the same person as the one who got dragged in there by a group of Hooded people? Do we even know if they were people? Okay getting ahead of my self, better insert this:tinfoilhat: . Pays to be careful. Look what happened to Keith Olbermann.

2. she probably doesn't trust this decision
and knows it can be revoked on a whim again.

she probably won't show emotion till she's on a plane back to the USA. and she should get on one the second they let her.

4. This struck me:
"The 40-year-old New York woman received the news without showing emotion."

What does anyone expect? This happened once before only to be told that she had to go back.
