Ken, this arose as I posted the url for a piece about Leila Khaled speaking at an ILPS event in Manila. I am not opposed to her taking advantage of any platform she can get. This has nothing to do with what Sison may or may not have done 30 or 40 years ago. It's as irrelevant as where people fighting repressive regimes get their guns from or whose train Lenin rode in in 1917.
