If Berenson is so dumb that she truly was in the wrong place at the wrong time, if her actions weren't intended to further a plot to overthrow the government, then it would be easy to tell her she's on a picnic.

She'd believe that, too.

Actually, you know the Peruvian government would love to get rid of her. This is a very high profile matter.

If she weren't guilty, she'd be home. Even if she were just a little bit innocent, I think they would have found a way to send her back.

She's an embarrassment to them.

And, if the US government thought she was innocent I'm sure they would put a lot more pressure on Peru.
