This article makes it sound like she made staged the assassination attempt in order to re-esatblish her cover as an FBI agent. If that is the case, why is she in prison? I'm confused! --Rebroad 15:57, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Source(s)?

"In order to carry out a plot she planned with a radical organization and prove herself with her radical friends"

I suspect the source for that statement is either from her June 1976 Playboy Magazine Interview or Steven Weed's book. It's been a while since I read either one, but it would be nice if this assertion were either sourced or expressed as conjecture rather than stated as established fact.

That statement you refer to is difficult to source. The Playboy interview was never carefully "fact checked" and I'm not sure it could have been. The writer interjected a lot of his own impressions and then presented them as Sara Jane's. In reality, she did not shoot at President JUST to get attention from her friends. There was a lot more to it than that. Most of what went on in the early and middle 70's was heavily controlled by Washington as it was just after the Viet Nam War was finishing, the Zebra Murders, Patty Hearst kidnapping etc. The government did not want the public to know how close Ford came to being killed, so they encouraged a lot of false publicity.

"Alderson Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia" isnt that the same prison Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme escaped from? i think someone has there information mixed up. OR did Fromme and Moore serve time in, and escape from, the same prison? Alias pizzaman

They were both in that prison, and both did escape, although they escaped in different years. The article has been corrected and properly sourced. Wittyname 03:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
