I understand what you're saying. It's just that you're wrong. Boudin and Gilbert became "former" WU members when the cell door clanged shut on them. I admit they were likely the last active members though.

BTW, Gilbert seems not to have become "former" at all. He has written a book entilted No Surrender. He says he is a political prisoner. And describes himself and Boudin as "allied white revolutionaries" not Black Liberation Army members:

....
"In response to the murderous government assault on the Black Liberation Movement and the unending, massive bombing of Vietnam, the Weather Underground formed in the early 1970's. I spent 10 years in underground resistance. On October 20, 1981, I was captured when a unit of the Black Liberation Army and allied white revolutionaries attempted to take funds from a Brinks truck, with the unfortunate result of a shoot-out in which a guard and two policemen were killed.

More to follow on the "idealistic" Weather Underground.
