PERU: Berenson Apologizes For Rebel Activity.
AP/GOOGLE/ Recently released rebel Lori Berenson, 40, apologized for her "crime of collaboration with terrorism" in a 2-page handwritten letter to the parole board. She had long called herself a political prisoner. Berenson wants to return to the U.S. and be reunited with her entire family. With her parole, Berenson must remain in Peru until the sentence ends in November 2015 — unless President Alan Garcia decides to commute it. "I am still analyzing and reflecting," Garcia said. "People must pay for the crimes they commit." In a new poll, 75% of Peruvians said they opposed her parole. The same percentage said, however, that they wanted her sentence commuted.
