... says enough to disclosure of CIA-detainee documents in the ACLU's FOIA lawsuit. The ACLU is not pleased. Susan Atkins, paralyzed and dying, is up for parole again. She wanted to appear in person: Atkins, 61, is riddled with cancer, paralyzed over most of her body and has had her left leg amputated. "She is kind of poor condition -- poor, but stable condition." Atkins is able to speak, but is not capable of entering the hearing room on her own.... Enough already. It's ...

I'm seeing that name, I think, for the first time, in the obituary of the repellent murderess, Susan Atkins. (It was Atkins who boasted that she "stabbed [Sharon] Tate, tasted her blood and used the blood to write the word 'Pig' on the front door of the house.") In 1968, Ms. Atkins gave birth to a son. [Charles] Manson - who by all accounts was not the father - had her name the child Zezozose Zadfrack Glutz. While he was still a ...
