Ward Churchill--Professor, Indian, Artist or Plagiarist?

Perhaps the famous scholar/activist/victim Prof. Churchill made a mistake when he tried to create his own art...as the original story goes,
An exclusive report by CBS4 News indicates embattled University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill may have broken copyright law by making a mirror image of an artist's work and selling it as his own.Placing Churchill's work beside that of renowned artist Thomas E. Mails and the two look like mirror images. But one is a copyrighted drawing. The other is an autographed print by Churchill.When BS4 News reporter Raj Chohan tried to talk to Churchill about a possible copyright infringement, he received an angry response.

Um....err....whoops. Perhaps it's time for "Professor"Churchill to swallow his towering pride (and rage) and quietly retire.
