CU prof's essay sparks dispute

Ward Churchill says 9/11 victims were not innocent people

By John C. Ensslin, Rocky Mountain News
January 27, 2005

A University of Colorado professor has sparked controversy in New York over an essay he wrote that maintains that people killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were not innocent victims.

(EDIT)

"As for those in the World Trade Center," the essay said, "well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break."

The essay goes on to describe the victims as "little Eichmanns," referring to Adolph Eichmann, who executed Adolph Hitler's plan to exterminate Jews during World War II.


And so it begins again. Idiot professor makes idiotic remark, and the right-wing media use it to imply that most liberals think this way. I know for a fact that not even most members of the supposedly "extreme left-wing" DU think that way...


Anyway, thanks Professor Churchill, for giving Limbutt 30 minutes of material for today's show!
