America's Truth Forum is the group that Georgetown University denied facilities to due to its "controversial" nature (that's not stopping them from hosting the anti-Israel, anti-American PSM, of course). Having found a new location, the group is going ahead with their conference in Washington, D.C. on April 29th entitled: The Underlying Roots Of Terrorism: The Radical Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security. The page with details is here. Guests will include: Andrew Bostom, Brigitte Gabriel, David Horowitz, Joe Kaufman, Harvey Kushner, Laura Mansfield, Daniel Pipes, Whalid Shoebat, Robert Spencer and Paul Williams.
There is an interview with the president of America's Truth Forum, Jeffrey Epstein, here, at Frontpage today.
Edit: A commenter points out that, at least officially, it was the Marriott, not Georgetown that refused accomodations to ATF. See the link in this post for details.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

As I noted in a previous post on your site, Georgetown University did not cancel this event. The event was canceled by Marriott International, Inc. Please see the following article published at the time:
Marriott Rejects Terror Summit
The Hoya, December 6, 2005
"We reserve the right to not accept business if we feel it puts our guests, our employees, our hotels and our surrounding communities at any kind of risk," said Roger Conner, vice president of communications for Marriott International, Inc. "In this case, based on those concerns, we decided to not accept the business."
Also, Georgetown seems to be pretty clear on the situation.
