<DIV>How "All American" of you! Winning is the issue?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you could back up your claims that Chomsky endorsed Pol Pot with some verifiable evidence, which you asserted you would, I would be more <SPAN class=correction id="">informed</SPAN>. Though I admit a bias in favor of Chomsky's integrity, my main interest is in knowing the truth in this matter, not "winning" arguments. If Chomsky did "endorse" Pol Pot, I want to know the all the facts, if for no other reason than to not avoid <SPAN class=correction id="">misstating</SPAN> the truth in this matter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My interest in the truth transcends my emotional biases, at least when I put on my scholar hat.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides, "winning," in this case, from my point of view, would mean you post a retraction to <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">V2020</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> for libel against Chomsky when you asserted he "endorsed" Pol Pot on the <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">V2020</SPAN></SPAN> list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I still "win" (if I learn a new truth, I win) if you can offer verifiable evidence that he did "endorse" Pol Pot, though the exact context in which these <SPAN class=correction id="">alleged</SPAN> statements were made, and the exact wording of the statement or statements, would shed light on whether Chomsky really "endorsed" Pol Pot or not. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I say that Hitler did some good things for the German people in promoting an improved economic situation for some Germans during his rule, this does not mean than I "endorse" any of the horrors that Hitler helped to unleash.</DIV>
