This seems to be a hard pill to swallow for people. I can understand how desperate circumstances can drive people to a host of things. This rings hollow with some. It doesn't seem like too much of an extrapolation to suggest that inferior living conditions in the Third World serve to drive extremism. After all, if there is nothing for you in this world, why not go for the next with a "bang".

Actually Win, I conceded the problem of circumstances and stated that I have no problem with Patty being free. She was guilty, however. What ever she was at the time of her capture, she changed. I don't buy the brain washing crap. She changed into a radical revolutionary, turned against family and friends, and boldly did so with the point of her automatic weapon readied. I am not sure her story is credible, but see no point in the world wasting time and resources on a spoiled rich kid that appears to be done sowing her wild oats.
