Susan Atkins (of Manson family fame) is up for parole on Wednesday.  Parole is urged on the grounds of compassionate release. We're told she has cancer, and only has a few months to live.  (We were told that in 2006 too, but I guess they really mean it this time).

Perhaps we should send her to Scotland?  They're experts on compassionate release.  Ms. Atkins has served a lot more than 11 days per victim (roughly the amount of time served by the Lockerbie bomber, al-Megrahi) so I guess it should work out.

Would Libya trade her for some oil leases?
