「911リヴィジョニスト」教官への政治圧力を大学が拒否(アルジャジーラ)
米国ウイスコンシン・マディソン大学でイスラム学の非常勤講師を務めるケヴィン・バレットは、「9・11真相解明を求めるイスラム教徒・ユダヤ教徒・キリスト教徒連合(MUJCA)」の創始者の一人で、9・11が米国ブッシュ政権の内部犯行であるとする「911レヴィジョニスト」の一人ですが、1ヶ月ほど前から彼に対して、ウイスコンシン州内外からの政治的圧力が高まり、大学に対してバレットをクビにせよ、との圧力がかかっていました。
しかし7月11日のアルジャジーラ(英語版)によれば、大学当局はこの政治圧力を拒否してバレットを講師として雇い続ける方針を固めたようです。9・11真相解明運動を潰そうとする政治圧力が次第に効かなくなってきたことの、一つの現れでしょう。

9/11 'revisionist' allowed to teach
Tuesday 11 July 2006, 10:58 Makka Time, 7:58 GMT
An instructor at the University of Wisconsin who has said he believes US officials orchestrated the September 11, 2001 attacks, will be allowed to teach a course on Islam.
Some state politicians had called for the University of Wisconsin-Madison to fire Kevin Barrett, a part-time instructor, after he spoke about his theories on a radio talk show last month.
The university provost, Patrick Farrell, said in a statement late on Monday: "We cannot allow political pressure from critics of unpopular ideas to inhibit the free exchange of ideas.
"To the extent that his views are discussed, Mr Barrett has assured me that students will be free and encouraged to challenge his viewpoint."
Barrett can present his view as one of many perspectives on the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington DC when he teaches Islam: Religion and Culture this fall, Farrell said.
Farrell began a review after Barrett said he believed the attacks were the result of a conspiracy designed to cause war in the Middle East.
Barrett said he was happy the school "did the right thing".
"This university is a pretty professional organisation that is not going to buckle from political pressure from politicians," he said.
Criticism
Politicians who had called for Barrett's dismissal criticised the decision.
Matt Canter, a spokesman for the governor, Jim Doyle, said: "The governor would have come to a different conclusion about this."
Steve Nass, a state representative, said he would push next year for cuts to the university's budget.
The university does not endorse Barrett's theories, Farrell said, noting that they are widely believed in parts of the Muslim world.
