The Civil Rights Civil Liberties Society has invited Sander Hicks
to speak at the law school today, billing him as "a multimedia
political activist committed to the preservation of civil liberties
and civil rights for all Americans."
In fact, Mr. Hicks is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist committed to the
proposition that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were orchestrated by
the United States government, which is now murdering its citizens
to cover up the truth. In his own words:
"The 9/11 commission was a coverup. . . . 9/11 was the product
of a conspiracy — specifically a conspiracy between the CIA,
Pakistani intelligence, and the so-called al-Qaeda organization, which
is really most likely just a product of Pakistani intelligence and
CIA intelligence."
Mr. Hicks is now touring the country speaking about "The FBI
murder of Dr. David Graham," a fellow 9/11 conspiracy theorist
who died in 2004.
Tomorrow's appearance at SLS will
be the latest installment in Mr. Hicks's deranged slander campaign,
which insults the men and women of the United States government and
trivializes the tragedy of September 11th. It is utterly disgraceful
to give this man a platform to speak at Stanford Law School.
