I don't get this crap about Ayers not being at all contrite about what he did.
>From the npr article I linked to before: --quote-- In his memoir, Fugitive Days, Ayers doesn't directly say which Weather Underground bombings he may have had a role in planning or executing, coyly writing, "some details cannot be told." But in a New York Times article on the book, Ayers is quoted as saying, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Coincidently, that article was published on Sept. 11, 2001. Days later, Ayers complained on his Web site that the quote was taken out of context, saying, "My memoir is from start to finish a condemnation of terrorism, of the indiscriminate murder of human beings, whether driven by fanaticism or official policy." -- end quote -- Memoir is from start to finish a condemnation of terroism. Sounds pretty clear cut to me. Ayers almost certainly was involved in some bombings of buildings. He may or may not have been involved in any that hurt anyone. The investigation was tossed for reasons we've already gone over. He's since that time repudiated his previous methods and done an outstanding job in decades of service to his community and trying to improve education and life for inner city kids. I don't approve at all of the way Ayers did things in the 60's. I can understand it, but I don't approve in the slightest. Neither does Obama as he has clearly said. I think what Ayers has been doing since then is admirable and I think it would be wrong to dismiss his current work because of his past actions.
