NH governor (D) on "Scholars for Truth" (9/11): "Crazy & offensive"
Woodward is a member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, an organization of faculty, staff and students at various universities around the world that is "dedicated to exposing falsehoods and to revealing truths behind 9/11," according to the group's website, www.scholarsfor911truth.org


DURHAM — A University of New Hampshire professor who has said the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may have been orchestrated by the U.S. government will continue to receive the support of the university, even though state lawmakers, including Gov. John Lynch, have decried the professor's views.

William Woodward, a professor of psychology at UNH, has publicly stated his belief that the U.S. government either passively allowed or actively participated in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in order to push a political agenda. Woodward has also said he has plans to teach a course on the psychological factors surrounding the attacks. Woodward did not return calls seeking comment on Tuesday morning.

Gov. John Lynch called Woodward's theories "crazy and offensive."

"While the governor believes in academic freedom, this is a reckless disregard for the facts and calls into question why this person is teaching at the university in the first place," said Lynch spokesperson Pam Walsh.

2. Go ahead and stir up a 9/11 shit storm, Lynchie
Because eventually the shit will stick where it belongs: on Bush and the lame-ass republicons who failed America in a treasonous way on 9/11 and with their subsequent cascade of coer-up lies.

5. Well in that case...
You should stay away from the official conspiracy theory, in which 19 guys with knives did this all by themselves, committing an impossible maneuver at the Pentagon, while simultaneously 1) causing the top of the US chain of command to absent themselves during the actual attacks; 2) turning off the US air force and preventing standard operating procedure for intercepts via the device of wargames that diverted resources and mirrored the actual attack scenario on the day itself; 3) causing FBI, CIA and military officials to systematically kill all investigations that could have led to these alleged hijackers; 4) causing the US government to systematically cover-up everything about what actually happened and to promote the officials who supposedly failed; etc. etc.

7. Are you questioning the Veracity of the Undeniable Truth of
The Official Story?

I am afraid I am going to have to ask to see your Papers, Citizen.

Please fall in line immediately, or a trip to Guantanamo awaits you.
