Churchill met with Gadhafi

[drdon326]

This is not the first time Ward Churchill has disagreed with the U.S. government's idea of who is, and is not, a terrorist.

In April 1983, Churchill went to Libya to meet with Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

The U.S. government had banned travel to Libya two years earlier, saying Gadhafi supported terrorism. Churchill traveled to Tripoli and Benghazi as a representative of the International Indian Treaty Council and the American Indian Movement. He went with Dace Means, brother of AIM leader Russell Means.

He added, "AIM has not requested arms from the Libyan government."

The meeting took place five years before a bomb exploded on an American passenger jet above the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground.

6. you are playing into Repug hands by condeming Churchhill

In that piece, Churchill likened the white-collar employees he termed "technocrats" who died in in the World Trade Center to Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann.

"These comments, which some people - including some who lost loved ones, family members, and colleagues on 9/11 - would call 'hate' speech, are obviously deeply hurtful," Miller said. "This is not to negate or criticize the professor's larger argument about violence begetting violence."

Wisconsin Republican lawmaker Steve Nass, upon hearing of Miller's decision Thursday, began circulating a formal resolution to condemn Miller's decision......
