Rosie's spin is that they didn't actually plant the bombs. Well Manson didn't directly kill anyone either. Wonder if he's next. He would be if the "Family" had PAC money.

I know I shouldn't even respond to this. And, unlike so many others who are able to pronounce on all matters of public interest with such supreme confidence, I'm really not sure where the right and wrong lie in the FALN case. But ... I assume that you would also get behind the FBI and the CIA if they start targeting the leaders of the various white supremicist organizations whose members have recently indulged in killing rampages? Investigate every aspect of their lives and then nail them for whatever wrongdoing they can find and make sure they receive sentences about 75 times the average for that offense. After all even though they didn't actually pull the trigger we "know" they're all responsible.

Just to keep it sort of on topic, I was interested to see that none of the fact checkers on this board noticed that CNBC news referred to the pardoned FALN members as being "convicted" of the bombings themselves. That's not true, and CNBC had their facts wrong. I still haven't figured out where this fits into the left wing media conspiracy.
