WorldNetDaily: 9-11 professor trained terrorists

Uh--isn't that illegal? And doesn't that make him a traitor ipso facto?

The domestic terror group that WorldNetDaily is talking about called themselves the Weathermen, saying "you don't need a weatherman to tell you where the wind blows." The Weathermen were an offshoot of the old Students for a Democratic Society. Unlike the rest of the SDS, they explicitly embraced violence and directly attacked policemen and other authority figures. Eventually the Weathermen went underground.

The point is this: Several long-time fugitives have recently surfaced, and we all have had to debate whether they ought to get some kind of credit for time-on-the-run, however illogical that may sound. But now we find that Ward Churchill was one of their training officers! And the training he offered them was in small arms and explosives.

This is the man whom the Chancellor of CU says must be allowed to speak out of respect for the First Amendment?

Sorry, Chancellor. This man is manifestly guilty of treason, and ought to be in prison. That any university would even consider hiring him, much less granting him tenure, speaks volumes about why a college education is now far less valuable than it once was.
