That's pretty funny. Percy Sutton was involved during that time in the Black liberation movement as well. He was Malcolm X's attorney. If we're going to say that we can't trust someone like al-Mansour because of his association with the Black Panther movement, we can't really position Sutton as some kind of paragon of honesty.

And al-Mansour said that he and Sutton are good friends. So that means that Sutton pals around with Black Panther mentors. So why should we believe him any more than we believe al-Mansour? I mean, shit. People are saying we can't trust Obama because he served on the board of a charity with Bill Ayers. Sutton was Malcolm X's attorney

My own opinion is that neither of these men's past associations makes them any more or less trustworthy than the other. But I think al-Mansour is in a better position to remember what he did and didn't do than a very old man who is ill, and may not be remembering things very well.
