The Terror Network: North America

Jerrold Nadler's Two Faces on Terror By Jacob LaksinFrontPageMagazine.com | June 13, 2005Last Friday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Patriot Act had already been adjourned, but Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic blimpish congressman from New York and one of the leftmost members of the House Judiciary Committee, was too wound up to care: “We are not besmirching the honor of the United States, we are trying to uphold it,” bellowed the hefty Nadler. By this, Nadler meant to defend his attacks on the alleged abuses of the (in fact) privileged  prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Thanks to the efforts of the...

[The following article was written by an alumnus of Hamilton College protesting the College’s recent decision to invite a radical Ward Churchill to speak on campus. Hamilton invited Churchill to speak in support of an essay he wrote saying that America needed more 9-11s, and comparing the people killed at the Trade Center to war criminal Adolph Eichmann.] “Ward and Nancy: Hamilton Goes Jerry Springer (Again),” by James Bohan First, Nancy Rabinowitz invited Susan Rosenberg to teach "Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change," a month-long, seminar as part of the Kirkland Project's "artist- and activist-in-residence" program. Susan, formerly of the...

It looks like the virtual stranglehold that left-wing professors have enjoyed at the nation's colleges and universities has loosened a bit — a development that can only be applauded. Except maybe by one-time terrorist Susan Rosenberg, who has just discovered that her academic tour of New York campuses is being cut short — because of protests from faculty, students and donors alike. Faced with a negative reaction from donors (who closed their checkbooks) and even some prospective students (who withdrew their applications), Rosenberg backed out of a writing seminar she was to teach at upstate Hamilton College. Meanwhile, she...

They picket Hamilton College fund-raiser over employment of Susan Rosenberg. About 30 Rockland County police officers and friends picketed a Hamilton College fund-raiser in Manhattan Friday night to protest the college's hiring of a former radical once indicted in the murder of two police officers. Members of the Rockland County Patrolmen's Benevolent Association want the college to rescind the hiring of Susan Rosenberg. She served 16 years in prison for possessing more than 600 pounds of explosives, and was indicted in a Brink's armored car robbery in 1981. Two Nyack police officers - both members of the Rockland County PBA...

At Hamilton College... you can take... "Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change."... Its teacher is Susan Rosenberg, formerly of the Weather Underground. ...Its self-described revolutionaries, mostly middle-class, dedicated themselves to supporting radical black causes and tearing apart American society in the 1970s and early 1980s. In 1970, they blew up a townhouse when a bomb detonated prematurely and killed a few of their troops. Kathy Boudin, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and other high-profile members of the group spent the next decade or so running from the police and, some of them, continuing to pursue careers in criminal violence.... So why...

Convicted leftist terrorist Susan Rosenberg must be counted among the unlikeliest candidates ever to be awarded a university teaching post. Just four years ago, Rosenberg was serving out the 16th year of a 58-year sentence for the possession of more than 700 pounds of explosives and a stockpile of illicit weapons. Moreover, the onetime member of a leftist terrorist outfit called “The Family” was also a suspect in a 1981 robbery-gone-awry that left three people dead in Nyack, New York. However, next January students at Hamilton College, a small liberal arts school in upstate New York, will know Susan Rosenberg,...

The hiring of a former political radical and ex-convict at Hamilton College is sparking controversy on campus. There's mixed opinions after the hiring of Sue Rosenberg, a former political radical who spent 16 years in federal prison. Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 for the possession of explosives and granted executive clemency by President Clinton in 2001. "She's being hired on a one month residency as part of our Kirkland Project on campus. The program that hired her was aware of her background but they were particularly interested in teaching a course on writing memoirs," said Faculty Dean David Paris. The...
