I too agree with Leej. I think there's probably a comparison to be made to the thousands of folks who were members of the Communist Party in the 30's and later brought to task over those affiliations by "Tailgunner Joe." I would think that Lennon would have had strong feelings both about Irish freedom and non-violence, so if the money was used for "guns instead of butter" he would have been unaware of it. Just an opinion.
