2002 interview of Susan Atkins by Diane Sawyer (rebroadcast on a 2006 GMA segment).

While her remorse and repentance are evident and no doubt sincere, it is astonishing that she had even the slightest hope of ever being released...and this was BEFORE she got sick.

Also note the brief snippet of Diane's interview w/ Charles Manson. Bad though he is, what stands out is his very clever (and not completely incorrect) statement that he didn't make 'them' do anything they didn't want to do.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

- THOMAS JEFFERSON
