WorldNetDaily: Is 9-11 prof a plagiarist?

If he is, then he could lose his job, tenure or no, and the tenure system need not be touched. And a number of people are stepping forward saying that they have solid evidence that besides being a nut-case, Ward Churchill is not merely a copycat but is also given to making stuff up out of the whole cloth. Either thing would be an academic crime--and if he is guilty of both, then his dismissal would be only logical.

Very often, an arch-offender will take a big fall, not for the specific offense he has given to any one person, but for following a pattern of offensive behavior which, sooner or later, will catch up with him. So it just might be for Ward Churchill. For that reason, getting angry with the Ward Churchills of this world is simply not worth it. Indeed, Jesus Himself said it best: "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay." Translation: let God take care of things, as He always will.
