Former CGU Pres. Signs Letters Supporting Unrepentant Terrorist


John D. Maguire, President Emeritus of Claremont Graduate University has signed a letter supporting the terrorist, Bill Ayers. For those of you who don't know, Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist who launched attacks on the Pentagon and the Capitol and who currently serves as a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He also happens to be connected with the Obama campaign.

Frankly it hasn't come as a surprise to me, as the college since he stepped down has invited genocide deniers and Muslim radicals to speak. Still it is fairly shocking to see a college president using his college's name in support of such a radical position.

Alas, President Maguire is something of a radical himself and he's certainly unable to recognize terrorism when he sees it. In a review for a book The New Pearl Harbor, which criticized 9/11 as a "conspiracy," Maguire wrote,

"I found Griffin's book a profoundly disturbing compendium of all the arguments for why there has been a conspiracy around 9/11. He begins with a table of eight levels of complicity, from little to overwhelming and lets the reader decide where along the scale reality may lie. Two reminders of my Yale training jumped to mind: one was Leslie Weatherhead's distinction between the permissive and ordaining wills of God; some things God allows to happen; other things God directs to happen. (Application. Since it is overwhelmingly clear the the Bushies knew such an attack was coming, did they--so overwhelmed with a passion to get into a war with Iraq--simply allow the events of 9/11 or actually conspire and were involved in various ways in their happening?)....
Hear that, dear reader? That's the sound of Rome burning as academics fiddle.
