[Peace-discuss] [sf-core] Re: UI won't employ "anyone with history of terrorism"

[David Johnson via Peace-discuss]

The hyprocracy of the U of I is unbelievable, when one considers all the war related research it has supported since the Vietnam war and continueing to this day.
Then there is JIm Dey and his Editors at the Nazi Gazette who started this witch hunt against James, for no other apparent reason than that they are still stuck in the cultural-political wars of the 1960's and 70's, and wanted to try to indirectly discredit Carol Ammons with guilt by association.

All of this while there are war criminals ( GW Bush, Condoleza Rice, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld et al ) running around living the high life getting substantial speaking fees and being featured as honored Statesmen on the corporate media talk shows.
Especially GW Bush and his so called art work that resembles something done by a special needs 9- year old.

  The university should simply admit that of course it employs many people "with a history of terrorism."



  The hypocritical maunderings of trustees should be dismissed.  --CGE




  PS - Most Americans still don't know that the US withdrew its conscript army from Vietnam because they revolted. Or even that the US still managed to kill 4 million people in SE Asia with chemical weapons and more ordnance than used In WWII.

    What Kennedy is saying is that no one who has worked for the US military or served in the federal government should be employed by the university . It is sn interesting idea .

    One fault in it is that not all who participated did so willingly .

    Flippancy aside...another Kennedy is said to have said that those who make peaceful evolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable .

    Arguably it was violent resistance that brought down the war in Vietnam .

    "CHAMPAIGN — In his first public statement about James Kilgore, University of Illinois Board of Trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy told The News-Gazette on Thursday that violence is no way for people who disagree with the government to conduct themselves in public discourse.

    "That is one of several reasons given by Kennedy as to why Kilgore, a former member of the 1970s radical group Symbionese Liberation Army, should not work at the university.


    "No one wants to stop an ex-felon from having a career, Kennedy said, but a public institution which receives a good portion of its funding from state taxpayers — and where students are learning to become leaders of a multicultural democracy — is no place for someone who was involved with a group that advocated overthrowing the government, targeted police and carried out a robbery that led to a murder..."
