Asbestos Dangers

Mesothelioma is a dreaded cancer that is nearly always caused by just one factor: asbestos exposure.
FACT: Family members of those who are regularly exposed to high levels of asbestos also have a high risk of developing malignant mesothelioma.

The NYTimes publishes OpEd on Barrett
Conspiracy Theories 101 (registration required)
...Mr. Barrett’s critics argue that academic freedom has limits and should not be invoked to justify the dissemination of lies and fantasies. Mr. Barrett’s supporters (most of whom are not partisans of his conspiracy theory) insist that it is the very point of an academic institution to entertain all points of view, however unpopular. (This was the position taken by the university’s provost, Patrick Farrell, when he ruled on July 10 that Mr. Barrett would be retained: “We cannot allow political pressure from critics of unpopular ideas to inhibit the free exchange of ideas.â€)...
...But in fact, academic freedom has nothing to do with content. It is not a subset of the general freedom of Americans to say anything they like (so long as it is not an incitement to violence or is treasonous or libelous). Rather, academic freedom is the freedom of academics to study anything they like; the freedom, that is, to subject any body of material, however unpromising it might seem, to academic interrogation and analysis.
Academic freedom means that if I think that there may be an intellectual payoff to be had by turning an academic lens on material others consider trivial — golf tees, gourmet coffee, lingerie ads, convenience stores, street names, whatever — I should get a chance to try. If I manage to demonstrate to my peers and students that studying this material yields insights into matters of general intellectual interest, there is a new topic under the academic sun and a new subject for classroom discussion...
...Rather, the question should be: “Do you separate yourself from your partisan identity when you are in the employ of the citizens of Wisconsin and teach subject matter — whatever it is — rather than urge political action?†If the answer is yes, allowing Mr. Barrett to remain in the classroom is warranted. If the answer is no, (or if a yes answer is followed by classroom behavior that contradicts it) he should be shown the door. Not because he would be teaching the “wrong†things, but because he would have abandoned teaching for indoctrination...
Despite the title, this is not a hit-piece. The author is re-framing the debate in terms of defining the role of the teacher, he's not castigating Barrett outright, unlike other pinata journalism we've seen in the past two weeks.
Perhaps now the NYTimes will heed David Ray Griffin's call;
...In light of this situation and the facts discussed in this essay---as well as dozens of more problems in the official account of 9/11 discussed in my books---I call on the New York Times to take the lead in finally exposing to the American people and the world the truth about 9/11. Taking the lead on such a story will, of course, involve enormous risks. But if there is any news organization with the power, the prestige, and the credibility to break this story, it is the Times. It performed yeoman service in getting the 9/11 oral histories released. But now the welfare of our republic and perhaps even the survival of our civilization depend on getting the truth about 9/11 exposed. I am calling on the Times to rise to the occasion.
Perhaps the Gray Lady needs to hear Griffin's call echoed a few thousand times.
Thanks Ed, for sending this in.
well i sure as hell aint
well i sure as hell aint giving The Times any more money than i have to. anybody got the whole thing yet?
Well, I read the NY Times
Well, I read the NY Times piece-- a lot of words that don't say an awful lot we don't already know.
Teachers do nothing BUT give their opinion in class- their is no such thing as NEUTRAL information- that's not what we pay them for. If that's all they were to do, what would be the point of even HAVING a mentor/teacher/instructor. If you want neutral information, go to books, library, internet and read everything.
The purpose of a teacher is to consciously select SOME information out of the entire pool, and pass along what they feel is good, relevant, and healthy.
As for the NY TIMES, someone give us some eamil addresses so we can encourage them to WRITE A STORY that summarizes events/information that are being read all over the rest of the world, but completely surpressed here.
If the NY Times were a college professor- I would have fired them long ago for failure to provide a basic balanced view.

The fact that Kevin's name in the NYT OPED and that it is not a hit piece indicates to me that the door is cracked a little bit open.
Maybe the writer found a way to introduce the subject and still make it past the gatekeepers at the NYT.
The trick is to get the information out there.

Hello brothers and sisters,
I need help truthing over at "Crooks and Liars". The first post I put up today was deleted in less than a minute. And all the rest of my posts following that were also deleted.
I find it very strange that someone is monitoring and deleting all 9/11 posts at a moments notice. Anyway, please help me out on this thread if you can:

If anyone decides to help me out, don't waste your time writing out a long post, because it will be zapped before you can make another. I'm blasting them with stuff like links to 9/11 articles and documentaries.
Also, if there are any hardcore researchers out there that can dig up personal info on the person that runs that website (John Amato) please post it here :) . I'm interested in knowing what his backround is. I'm convinced he's working for the criminals that did 9/11. Let's expose that bastard!
I thought the article was
I thought the article was fair, but completely avoided the question which the author raised, viz., "In short, whether something is an appropriate object of academic study is a matter not of its content — a crackpot theory may have had a history of influence that well rewards scholarly scrutiny — but of its availability to serious analysis."
So, what does the author think re 911 in an Islamic studies course? Is it "available" to serious analysis? (And, I'm sure the author would agree, is it PRESENTED in such a way as to make this abundantly clear?)
Well, neither the author nor myself has taken Barrett's course, so we can't say for sure whether or not serious analysis is PRESENTED responsibly, but judging from
Barrett's interviews on the subject, he gives every indication of approaching the subject in this fashion. I would have have preferred the author say so, also, but I don't have a big problem with him not doing so. (Even if it strikes me as a little cowardly...)
The question of whether you CAN approach the subject in a serious, analytic way should be answered in the affirmative - what, after all, are Professor Griffin's books about if not serious attempts to address these issues?
I think, though, it should be admitted by everybody that a lot of the 911 information is poor on verification. Part of this is because it's often impossible to get not only a straight answer, but even a relevant question out of the US government. (By "even a relevant question", I'm referring to the fact that the 911 commission wouldn't even ASK certain questions, including, IIRC, about 2/3 of the questions submitted by the Jersey Girls.) E.g., both CT'ers and OCT'ers refer to the fact that most of the WTC steel was shipped off to China and India, but nobody checks to see if "souveneirs" were kept or if, perhaps, some or all of it was dumped in the ocean and never made it to it's alleged destination.
Even more amazing is that NOBODY is confirming, or disconfirming, the work of Hopsicker . Hopsicker recently posted an article (" 5.5 Ton Cocaine Bust Reveals New Details of the 911 Attack" madcowprod.com) tying Atta to the US military-industrial complex yet AGAIN, which furthermore presents leads to actually solving the the case. The US government is doing NOTHING about this information, but neither is the rest of society. Not the "alternative press", not the 911 Truthers, not the "debunkers".
How, then, do we know that Hopsicker is correct, or not? In science, independent verification is essential. I see no reason why we should have to rely on the honesty of just one man - any man. This is no knock against Hopsicker, BTW. It is, in a sense, a knock against everybody else!
These are no trivial issues, because if you are going to teach a course such as Barrett's, you have to decide whether or not to mention Hopsicker. Through no fault of either Barrett's or Hopsicker's, Hopsicker's research is unverified.
Personally, I would include it with the appropriate caveats. Furthermore, part of the story of 911 is the ensuing COVERUP, and the lack of action by the US government to jump on Hopsicker's leads and find the evil-doers is certainly relevant to this particular aspect.

All in all, I'd give the article an "A".

It is apparently quite legal to put removeable stickers on U.S. currency!!!
As part of the campaign, NBC will pay retailers with stickered $1 bills, which cashiers will then distribute to customers with their change. The sticker will drive recipients to a Three Wishes section on the NBC Web site NBC.com/Three_Wishes and encourage consumers to use the marked dollars to fulfill another person's wish to coincide with the show's theme...

We need a citizen-funded media that proactively seeks the truth, and at least attempts to do some of the work that the US Government is supposed to do, but does not. I have written a proposal for just such a media, wherein small automatic disbursements could be made from subscription fees to fund specific investigative reporting topics of interest to the subscriber.
