Edited sentence: Churchill became nationally known in 2005 when talk show host Bill O'Reilly publicized Churchill's views that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were justified because its victims were the moral equivalent of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi mastermind of the Holocaust.His views attracted angry criticism from the families of the victims and both Democrat and Republican law-makers condemned his views.The scrutiny he attracted led  to a range of questions about Churchill and an official inquiry into Churchill's disputed claims of ethnic heritage, his academic qualifications and other writings, allegations of plagiarism and research misconduct and his other activities concerning Native American issues.Ward LeRoy Churchill (born October 2, 1947) is an American academic who has written largely on the genocide conducted by the American government against Indigenous people, US government suppression against activist groups, and also his perceived pathology of liberal non-violent groups, and what he considers to be their failure to change power relations through social change
