→Fugitive Days: more on ayers
Ayers has claimed that his actions were not terrorist acts.<ref>Bill Ayers' blog, Episodic Notoriety–Fact and Fantasy, by Bill Ayers, 4/06/2008[http://billayers.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/episodic-notoriety-fact-and-fantasy/]</ref> He has stated that according to the official definition of both the U.S. and the U.N., terrorism consists of violent acts intended to intimidate or coerce a populace into a political end, and that his actions were intended to draw attention to and combat the state terrorism of the U.S. in the Vietnam War. In his autobiography, Fugitive Days, Ayers claimed that his bombing of the [[Pentagon]] prevented aerial bombardments in Vietnam for several days, which he defined as terrorism. In this regard, Ayers has implied that he ''prevented'' terrorism rather than caused it.

Asked if he would do it all again, Ayers stated, ''I don't want to discount the possibility.''
Ayers rebellion against authority also extended to sexual morality. He stated that that the Weathermen tried to ''smash monogamy,'' and engaged in fornication, including for Ayers, homosexual relations with his best male friend. <ref>''No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives,'' N.Y.
