Speaker backs war in UW talk

Conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza, who has drawn outrage for his new book that blames “the cultural left” for 9/11, spent half of his talk at the University of Wisconsin Tuesday night defending the war in Iraq.

Iraq has become, perhaps unwittingly, the centerpiece for the war on terror, D’Souza told a group of about 800 in the Union Theater who had come to hear the speaker as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series.
