I think she is a troubled activist Lefty willing to lie for the cause. I think there are millions of them out there, many in the media.
Then I watched her testimony. Conclusion? She's lying. Far from being some dupe, she's in on the whole thing. At best, she might be an idiot who's being taken advantage of, but she's still lying. Claustrophobia attacks don't "get better when you're on vacation". When relating an intensely personal event that is "seared in your memory", you don't need to read from a script. And so on.
Just amazes me that so many people are desperate enough to hitch their wagon to her dubious testimony.
