One questions screams to be asked in all these interviews: the bomb that exploded in Greenwich village was intended for an officer's dance at Fort Dix. And had nails and stuff in it for added damage... Did he know about it? Would he have approved of such tactics? Does he stand against those tactics now, or regret them?
I did not witness that time, but as I understand it some people were quite radicalized. I thought that the weathermen, among others, did believe violence in the face of violence (Vietnam, etc,) was okay.
I've yet to see an interview that prods him to address this issue. He says, "they misquoted me." But then he never says, "and I think bombs that hurt people for any cause is wrong," or better, "I thought that then, and now, wiser, I'm glad we never did that."
Has anyone seen an answer?
