This story is just one of the potential catalysts designed and orchestrated to revive/renew the sixties-style activism on our campuses nation wide.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if they are calling out the troops (at campuses) to battle AVOT. AVOT will launch a campaign to defend America's war on terrorism against those who would weaken the nation's resolve and erode our commitment to end the international menace of terrorism. AVOT will take its campaign to where it is needed most-college campuses, seminar rooms, editorial pages, and other media outlets. Chaired by William Bennett, AVOT brings together a strong intellectual fighting force of senior advisors well versed in the various aspects of the war on terrorism. These advisors include: James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence At Tuesday's press conference, William Bennett and senior advisors will discuss AVOT's principles, mission, and plan of action and will take questions from the press.
