| 2005-12-24 |
| NEW BEDFORD -- The UMass Dartmouth student who claimed to have been visited by Homeland Security agents over his request for "The Little Red Book" by Mao Zedong has admitted to making up the entire story. The 22-year-old student tearfully admitted he made the story up to his history professor, Dr. Brian Glyn Williams, and his parents, after being confronted with the inconsistencies in his account.... [snip] ....The student's motivation remains a mystery, but in the interview on Thursday, he provided a glimpse. "When I came back, like wow, there's this circus coming on. I saw my cell phone, and I see like, wow, I have something like 75 messages and like something like 87 missed calls," he said. "Wow, I was popular. I usually get one or probably two a week and that's about it, and I usually pick them up." Fed up Dog |

| #3 they won't release the name of the litle puke who did this. Why not? He's obviously an adult above 18, and has made slanderous lying accuations. Future Ward Churchill honors? Run this punk up te flag so he can get his consequences for his actions, otherwise, what are you teaching him? |

| #2 BDS is endemic in certain circles and venues. This little twitter couldn't think any farther than the end of its nose - and made itself a casualty. Given its obviously limited intelligence, things have worked out for the best, however. |

| #1 Article: There was an increased sense among some Americans that the U.S. government was overstepping its bounds and trampling on civil liberties in order to thwart future attacks of terrorism. That should probably have read: I had an increased sense that the U.S. government was overstepping its bounds and trampling on civil liberties in order to thwart future attacks of terrorism. It would have been more concise - and more importantly - more accurate. |
