I Don't Like What You Say But I'll Fight For Your Right To Say It...?

University of Colorado professor has sparked controversy over an essay he wrote .Ward Churchill says 9/11 victims were not innocent people..."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..."When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other countries, then you shouldn't be surprised when somebody responds...," Churchill said. "The most that can honestly be said of those involved on Sept. 11 is that they finally responded in kind to some of what this country has dispensed to their people as a matter of course." The essay maintains that the people killed inside the Pentagon were "military targets." Hijackers who crashed jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11 were "combat teams," not terrorists.
