''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''
In a Letter to the Editor published September 15, 2001, Ayers responded to the quotes with:
“This is not a question of being misunderstood or ‘taken out of context’, but of deliberate distortion.”
Ayers insisted then and still maintains that when he said he had “no regrets” and that “we didn’t do enough” he was referring to his efforts to stop the United States from waging the Vietnam War. The statements were not intended to imply the he wished they had set more bombs.
