Dean at Indiana University fundraises for terror-support group.
The Irish National Freedom Committee(INFC) is a New York City-based support group for the Continuity Irish Republican Army/ Republican Sinn Fein.(CIRA/RSF).
Republican Sinn Fein is the political wing of the Continuity IRA. The Continuity IRA continues to wage a campaign of bombing in Ireland. One of their members has been convicted in connection with the Omagh bombing in which 28 people were killed.
Both CIRA and RSF have been designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.
It is a criminal offense to give material support to terrorist groups
On January 27th in New York, the INFC held its annual fundraiser in support of Continuity IRA prisoners.
The keynote speaker was Robert W. White, Professor and Dean, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University.
Professor White is well-known within the ‘terrorist expert’ community. He writes frequently for such publications as ‘Terrorism and Political Violence’, a journal edited by
Professor Paul Wilkinson of the world-renowned Centre for the Study of Terrorism at St. Andrews University, Scotland.
Professor White has written a biography of Ruairi O Bradaigh, President of Republican Sinn Fein.
The book is to be used as a premium in a fundraiser for Radio Free Eireann, a program on WBAI radio, New York City. Radio Free Eireann is hosted by John McDonagh, a leading spokesman for the INFC.
Professor White is the first ‘terrorism expert’ to give material support to an organization designated terrorist by the U.S State Department: he is posing a direct challenge to the conduct of the Bush administration’s war on terror. |
