I can't say for sure whether she was or wasn't. And I think there is also something to be said about the discrediting of women (solely by men).
But I can't say I agree with her critique. Maybe because I know a little more of Panther history than many. But I didn't get the impression that they made it seem like the party self destructed without the intervention of outside forces. It was always clear to me that what happened to Huey was at the very least, partially because of the chaos caused by the CIA/FBI/Police/COINTELPRO and the stress and paranoia that those things caused in him. I didn't think the free breakfast/clinic/education programs were glossed over either, but maybe that's because I had knowledge of them prior.
