The news stories I've been hearing are basically:
1. Ward Churchill, a left wing professor at the University of Colorado wrote a book or essay referring to the 9/11 victims as "little Eichmans," a reference to Adolf Eichman, architect of the Holocaust during WWII. Also he referred to the terrorists who comandeered the planes as "combat teams."
2. He was due to speak at Hamilton College, and a local reporter wrote a story about his previous writings.
3. The story broke wider, led most likely by Fox News. Bill O'Reilly has done a lot with the story, and gave his audience the information necessary to contact Hamilton College.
4. A wide public outcry against his comments follows. Hamilton College initially defends Churchill, but then cancels the speaking engagement, most likely after the allumni threatening to cancel donations.
5. Ward Churchill resigns from a chair he held at the University. The governor of Colorado has called for him to be fired, and the legislation voted to denounce his writings. The board of regents of the University of Colorado has been discussing his termination.
Interesting stuff.
