Isn't being four weeks pregnant a bit to early to make such an announcement?The doctor at the Peruvian prison where Lori Berenson is serving a 20-year sentence for collaborating with leftist rebels says the New York native is four weeks pregnant.
Prison doctor Miguel Gaitan Cabellos says the pregnancy was detected during a series of medical tests on Berenson's ailing back and abdomen.
Her father, Mark Berenson, says he and his wife are "euphoric" - and their daughter "sounded very excited" during a recent phone call.
The 38-year-old U.S. citizen was arrested in 1995 on charges of being a leader of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement and plotting a thwarted attack on Peru's Congress. A military tribunal sentenced her to a life term in 1996 but a civilian retrial in 2001 shortened the sentence to 20 years.
In case the name doesn't ring a bell, here's some background. Back in the pre-9/11 days, she was quite the celebrity among the American left and intelligentsia.
Then terrorism was no longer so chic, unless of course, you're a special friend of Barack Obama.
