    Sara Jane Olsen, the former Symbionese Liberation Army radical who was a fugitive from justice for a quarter of a century, has completed half of her 14 year prison sentence in California for placing shrapnel-laden pipe bombs under LAPD squad cars, and being an accessory to a bank heist murder in Carmichael, California, in 1975, and was released on parole. Prior to going on the lam, she was known as Kathleen Soliah, part of the gang of thugs who kidnapped, gang raped, and ransomed Patty Hearst, among other crimes. Gary Larson describes her return to her native Minnesota (where she...

Sara Jane Olson, a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), an off-shoot of the Weather Underground, has served only seven years for involvement in the murder of a bank customer and the attempted murder of Los Angeles police officers by bombing their cars. Meanwhile, justice continues to be sought for the victims of Weather Underground terrorism such as San Francisco Police Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell, who was killed by a bomb on February 16, 1970. Former FBI informant Larry Grathwohl has...

    When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined Minnesota freshman Rep. Keith Ellison for his recent swearing-in ceremony, the controversy over his taking the oath of office on the Quran overshadowed his earlier role in supporting a terrorist whose group tried to kill policemen and allegedly twice tried to murder Pelosi's fellow San Francisco lawmaker Sen. Diane Feinstein. On Feb.12, 2000, Ellison joined Bernadine Dohrn, one of the founders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground, and several other speakers at a fundraiser for recently arrested Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson. Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson Soliah – who...

    Sara Jane Olson's release from prison and sudden return to custody may have caused lasting psychological damage and she should be released at once because her right to due process was denied, her lawyers contend in a petition filed Tuesday in Sacramento, Calif. Olson's attorneys said the California Board of Parole Hearings acted illegally last week because it never revoked or suspended Olson's parole -- steps that would require a hearing. California corrections officials blame her early release on a calculation error caused by a failure to read an entire transcript. They say she legally has another year left to...

    A flood of tears were shed last week for Sara Jane Olson, the former St. Paul resident who is serving time in a California prison for the attempted murder of police officers and participation in a fatal bank robbery. Olson recently obtained early release after serving six years of her sentence, but was re-arrested and returned to prison only days later, after authorities determined that they had miscalculated her parole date. Olson must now serve one additional year. The complaints that led to her re-arrest, according to the Star Tribune, may have come from individuals affected by her crimes—the Los...

    Jerrold Nadler's Two Faces on Terror By Jacob LaksinFrontPageMagazine.com | June 13, 2005Last Friday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Patriot Act had already been adjourned, but Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic blimpish congressman from New York and one of the leftmost members of the House Judiciary Committee, was too wound up to care: “We are not besmirching the honor of the United States, we are trying to uphold it,” bellowed the hefty Nadler. By this, Nadler meant to defend his attacks on the alleged abuses of the (in fact) privileged  prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Thanks to the efforts of the...
