The New Nutty Professors

Posted on Wednesday, August 30 at 12:27 by rearguard
The University of New Hampshire probably wishes it had that advice last week. Over the weekend, a tenured professor of psychology, William Woodward, came under fire from Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican and State Senate President Ted Gatsas for telling the New Hampshire Union Leader that "there was a genuine conspiracy on the part of insiders at the highest level of our government" to orchestrate the September 11 terrorist attacks. This, of course, was compounded by another revelation: Mr. Woodward hopes to teach a class on the attacks. The class would examine them "in psychological terms -- terms like belief, conspiracy, fear, truth, courage, group dynamics," he told the Union Leader.

The university has backed Mr. Woodward so far, which will only make sense if the professor can show that he won't be teaching his theories as though they were rooted in fact or accepted outside his own echo chambers.

    So now we label even intelligent people of character who have alternative opinions and concerns about 9-11 as nutty. Lump them in with tinfoil hat amateurs and liberal drug-using Hollywood stars.

    So long as Washington Times Editorials and the US Government use smear tactics and name-calling as rebuttal,

    I will think there is more to what happened on 9-11 than I have been told by my media, and that a serious independent investigation is required.
