Churchill met with Gadhafi.

This is not the first time Ward Churchill has disagreed with the U.S. government’s idea of who is, and is not, a terrorist.

In April 1983, Churchill went to Libya to meet with Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

The U.S. government had banned travel to Libya two years earlier, saying Gadhafi supported terrorism. Churchill traveled to Tripoli and Benghazi as a representative of the International Indian Treaty Council and the American Indian Movement. He went with Dace Means, brother of AIM leader Russell Means.

They were seeking recognition from Gadhafi of the U.S. government’s breaking of Indian treaties.

“The main thing we sought and received was diplomatic support,” Churchill told the Associated Press at the time. He added, “AIM has not requested arms from the Libyan government.”

The meeting took place five years before a bomb exploded on an American passenger jet above the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground.
