The 85-Year-Old Nun Who Went to Prison for Embarrassing the Feds Is Finally Free

[Playinghardball]

Sister Megan Rice, the 85-year-old activist nun who two years ago humiliated government officials by penetrating and vandalizing a supposedly ultra-high-security uranium storage facility, has finally been released from prison. A federal appeals court on Friday overturned the 2013 sabotage convictions of Rice and two fellow anti-nuclear activists, Michael Walli, 66, and Greg Boertje-Obed, 59, ruling that that their actions—breaking into Tennessee's Y-12 National Security Complex and spreading blood on a uranium storage bunker—did not harm national security.

1. Good!

The overly broad use of "national security" needs to addressed, and arresting elderly nuns is shameful.
