Peltier is nothing more than a liar and a murderer, a piece of human debris. The incident that landed him in prison wasn't a gunfight, it was an execution. The FBI agents were totally outgunned by the AIM members. They were shot from a distance and incapacitated, then executed at close range by Peltier and his thugs. The evidence bears this out, but Peltier's story is full of holes and inconsistencies.
Since the murders in 1975, Peltier's story has become increasingly convoluted, exaggerating the circumstances surrounding the ordeal and adding imaginary characters and tales of government conspiracy and secrecy in a vain attempt to get himself out of jail. He's been called "He Leads The People", but if the people were to really follow him they would find nothing but dishonor and disgrace. He's looking out only for himself; that is not a leader.
I don't have much to say for or against the other four guys listed, but I know a thing or two about Peltier. He is a criminal, not a political prisoner. He is exactly where he belongs. The only place that might be an improvement is a shallow grave.
