Negroponte and Churchill
As the Wingnuts circle around Ward Churchill (counter-clockwise, ignorant settler-style) and the AIMsters circle around Ward Churchill (clockwise, correctly), firing barbs, slings, arrows, and worse, it seems useful to remember where Ward and the universe of Wingnuts and AIMsters stood on an important point in the amazing career of John Negroponte.
Ward documented the secret war in Nicaragua and Honduras.
John carried out the secret war in Nicaragua and Honduras.
How many nuns does it take?

How interesting that the best Ward Churchill blog post I've seen is also one of the shortest Ward Churchill blog posts I've seen.

I well remember it too, was this the last sane sounding thing he did though? Just wondering...

Interestingly, Churchill is going to speak at the University of Hawai'i next week. The wagons are already being circled. One of our Republican state senators (who is also an ex-pro surfer) is calling for the University to cancel the engagement.

What I meant was the image of the surfer is usually a free spirit, and the Senator is acting as anything but.

The lowliest scum of the Earth, the LGF crowd, has a whole website designed to go after Churchill's head:

You wanna see freaks, here's a site that claims
'There is nothing that so clearly illustrates the collapse of thinking on the American Left as its near-universal embrace of Ward Churchill. Every "Indymedia" website in the country has carried multiple endorsements of Churchill.'
It's http://www.thejewishpress.com/news_article.asp?article=4703
A new Koufax category? Web-site most freaked out over a 'leftist' that no leftists had ever heard of.

Oh, I think its fair to say that most Indians involved in external politics or academics have heard of Ward.
