Why was our government remiss in putting this terrorist in jail to begin with?

Are we fools? Instead he gets millions from a foundation.

This man was never convicted so unless the media is into libel Mr Ayers cannot be labeled a terrorist ?
This old pot smoking hippie has taken the advantage
of the gullible journalists to over inflate the relevance of the weather underground & his importance in the organization. I would venture that boastful Bill
never even touched a bomb but is a scaredy cat.

perceptions5 - you are completely WRONG about Viet Nam - President Eisenhower, a Republican, began putting U.S. advisors into Viet Nam when the French colonial government was getting mauled by the Vietnamese resistance. Kennedy was handed the deteriorating situation, and he was advised to continue supporting the "anti-communist" South, and the whole thing blew open during the Johnson Administration, but Nixon, elected in 1968, pushed troop levels to over 500,000 in Viet Nam, and took the fighting to new heights, not only in Viet Nam, but in Cambodia too, U.S. troop levels in Viet Nam were the highest during his administration. He withdrew troops only when it was clear the war was lost, leaving enough to cover the U.S. withdrawal. Many Americans died needlessly while Nixon wrangled over an "honorable" withdrawal. This is simple history, something you obviously haven''''t studied if you dare to label Viet Nam a "Democratic" war. You must be a 20 year old Neocon know-nothing.

Ayers is a terrorist, he is LUCKY people were not killed and that fact had nothing to do with intention. THe last thirty years HAVE NOT BEEN DOMINATED by the rightwing neocons, completely false statement. The Viet Nam war had presidents from both sides ofthe isle in control during it''s duration, Nixon happened to be in office when we withdrew, both sides were complicit in keeping us there for a decade. Only the lunatic leftwing fringe of this country would justify the actions of the weather underground back in the 60''s and 70''s. Ayers continues to rationalize and justify the violence, he reamins unrepentent and continues to teach Americas latest generation of youth, dispicable!

Why do the left-wingers that run our colleges and universities hire terrorists like this guy?

What in the hell in going on in our colleges and universities?

BTW Vietnam was LBJ war and Nixon had virtually all US troops out of Vietnam by the end of his first term.

Thanks again Democrats......
