"Let me add my congratulations to Bill O'Reilly and Bill Owens and the newspaper editorialists and the radio talk-show boys.

You got your man.

Ward Churchill is apparently guilty - if not exactly guilty as charged.

He'll soon be fired. Or, as two of five committee members have recommended, suspended for five years. Five years? Isn't that like hanging someone for five years?

And then - check your calendars - the court case can begin.

But Churchill won't be fired for the reason you want him fired. Not that it matters. This was a witch hunt. And to quote myself, which I'm pretty sure is not plagiarism, even a witch hunt can occasionally turn up a witch."
