Wisconsin's Ward Churchill
UPI reports that the University of Wisconsin is defending Kevin Barrett -- a professor who believes that 9/11 was a CIA plot. The story notes that he expressed "personal views" about 9/11 on a "conservative radio show" in June.
I heard Barrett when he was on Michael Medved's radio show in July, so whether Barrett has been repeating this stuff elsewhere or the UPI got some details wrong isn't clear. But what the story doesn't tell you, even as it mentions that he's being attacked for his "personal views," is that Barrett teaches Islamic studies to U of Wisconsin students. And the story's description doesn't scratch the surface of explaining just what a nut he is -- he refuses even to concede the existence of Islamofascist terrorism.

And he calls the Marines, Christian terrorists. The guy's a peach. I hope he has no one sign up for his classes, but there are young minds that have been twisted enough to think they'd learn some truth from this lunatic.
I hope that this post pings on your blog.
Great Work!
