Chesimard is also known as the godmother of slain rapper Tupac Shakur.

“I was convicted by—I don’t even want to call it a trial, it was lynching, by an all-white jury,” Chesimard told BET in 2001. “I had nothing but contempt for the system of justice under which I was tried.”

The rapper Common told her story in “A Song for Assata,” which caused a stir after Michelle Obama invited him to a White House poetry slam two years ago. The piece contains the lyrics “Your power and pride is beautiful.”

They just caught the pedophile/teacher in Costa Rica, so there is room at the top. Besides more people from US are traveling to Cuba these days. Who knows what might happen.

"Their trial had many flaws, including racial injustice by the jury and admitted perjury by the trial's star witness."

Ayers trial had many "flaws", too. He "hides" in plain site.

Is this woman related to Tupac? *snicker*

Really. I was just joking when I mentioned Tupac!

They want her captured so she can become an award winning Professor at Colunbia University. Seems terrorist are hard to find with such a wealth of knowledge.
Boatboy may have tenure in 5 years! HE will be on a drive out scholarship!
Interest of studies will be: how to avoid 10,000 swat team members and local police with Ng detachment for 18 hrs.
Title of course will be: How to pick the right boat, and pressure cookers 101.

Probably means Obama is getting ready to normalize relations with the Castro Brothers, which might leave her vulnerable to an extradition.

Obama? Extradite a leftist? And a black, female leftist at that? Did you forget a </sarcasm> tag?
