Churchill

Associated Press:

A professor who likened World Trade Center victims to a notorious Nazi refused to apologize, but said his treatise was a "gut response" in his first public comments since the University of Colorado began a review that could lead to his dismissal.

"I don't believe I owe an apology," Ward Churchill said Friday on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now" program.

He defended the essay in which compared those killed in the Sept. 11 attack to "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, who organized Nazi plans to exterminate European Jews.
