Hi Jack,
Sorry, I tried calling you without success. I was off-line at the Quds Day event and then socializing with my hosts.
One major factual error in your article:"Barrett left his job at the University of Wisconsin in 2006 after stirring controversy over his support of a 9/11 conspiracy theory, which he says is unrelated to his decision to stop teaching."I never made any decision to stop teaching. I want to be teaching. I kept applying for jobs after I was witch-hunted in 2006.. But I was blacklisted. Whistleblowers at UW-Madison and UW-Whitewater have said that I was the best person for various jobs (at Whitewater I was the only finalist for a tenure-track Islam/Humanities job) but they were forced to not hire me due to my politics. Howard Ross, then Dean of Humanities at Whitewater, has repeatedly said this. A source at UW-Madison will say it if asked. But no media ever reported this, despite the fact they gave the witch-hunt against me wall-to-wall coverage.I was also turned down for an Islam-Humanities tenure-track job at the U. of Illinois for which I was eminently qualified. Like UW-Whitewater, they returned federal grant money and closed the position rather than hire me.This and other evidence proves I have been politically blacklisted from working in the US academy, and robbed of $2 million in projected lifetime earnings, due to my beliefs about 9/11, which every single one of a great many colleagues with whom I discussed the matter privately admitted to me are likely true.BestKevin
