Northwestern University Prof.

[Auspicious]

The guy is an engineering professor? The fact that he's a professor is kind of irrelevant since this isn't even his area of expertise. He's a layman in this case.

Still a problem for the university, though, yes. I don't envy them having to be put between a rock and a hard place.

He's got the right last name...

Iranian papers are touting Mr. Butz as a "world scholar" - but he's not a world scholar in this matter so that is patently dishonest.

Interesting thing that now that all or most of the people involved in WWII are dead or on their deathbed we are seeing this complete re-write of events. I guess the nasty little matter of having witnesses to the event is now gone so let the changes begin!

What do you want to bet that the next stage in this game is to say that all of the Jews were actually allies of Hitler - instead of his scapegoats/victims - and they were all out to eradicate the Middle East (where, interestingly enough, a number of groups actually were Nazi allies ).
