As a result, the decision was made to place a high level informant within the group to help keeps tabs on its members' activities. That person was Larry Grathwohl, a Vietnam veteran and the only publicly identified FBI informant who succeeded in penetrating the Weather Underground, serving in that capacity from August 1969 until April 1970.

The term insurgency is typically used by terrorists as they try to shield themselves from the murder and violence that they promote. Ayers also talks about the world in flames but omits the part that he participated in making those flames through his organization's terroristic actions.
