Ayers and Dohrn give context to the assassinations of the 60s. Context exposes motives; motives expose suspects.
They speak of the murder of Black Panther Fred Hampton in his bed. That's a crime that should get much more exposure.
I guess there will be a part 2 to the interview.
Yes Fred Hampton ws murdered in his bed. Cointelpro was beyond evil. Sid Blumenthal's piece " Cointelpro: How the FBI tried to Destroy the Black Panthers"- (published in Government By Gunplay: Harvey Yazijian (Assassination Information Bureau) and Sid Blumenthal(1976)- covers this horror in detail. The Black Panthers did good things. The media tuned them into the boggyman.
But Dohrn and Ayers...another matter. I could care less what they have done in their adult lives. They were leaders in the PEACE (SDS) movement who became terrorists, (unrepentant still) , and then were rewarded. Since when do we allow murderers entrance into law school and law school professorships? They were part of cointelpro, designed to destroy the peace movement. I will forever consider them an intelligence couple. Just my opinion.
