During the course of my search, I did however find this. It is an FBI site that contains a large amount of their declassified documents pertaining to the Weather Underground. Alot of stuff is blacked out, but there is more than enough information to get a general feel of how the Bureau viewed the organisation. One of the aspects I found interesting was that the FBI considered the Weathermen to be part of the international communist conspiracy, taking orders from both Havana and the Viet Cong.

I doubt that they actually thought they took orders from other coutries.
It is a little known fact that to discredited both foreign nations that we disliked, movements we disliked, the government often us tactics of spilling incorect information out and linking them all to things that they were not at all associated with.
Like this.
If we link The Weather Underground with Communism and peopl dislike the Weather Underground then they will dislike Communism and vice versa.
If we link The Weather Underground (which people might be okay with) with the Viet Cong (which a lot of people dislike) then they will probably end up disliking The Weather Unground.
You've seen this method already, Iraq is associated with Al Quedia.
"hmmm why attack iraq, they haven't done anything in 10 years, oh they are working with Al Quedia, who just recently did something bad. Oh I hate iraq"
It is common practice and just because they skillfully release papers or make them public, then make them seem all official with black pen marks, appearing to keep you away from sensetive information in no way makes them real official papers of the FBI or at least the ones they really used in the office.
