Liar: Chomsky claimed that : : such journals as the Far Eastern Economic Review, : : the London Economist, the Melbourne Journal of : : Politics, and others elsewhere, have provided : : analyses by highly qualified specialists who have : : studied the full range of evidence available, and : : who concluded that executions have numbered at most : : in the thousands But in fact the "at most" is Chomsky's lie, not present in the articles he cited. Someone who read the economist and the Far Eastern Economic Review at the time would rather have concluded that the death rate from brutality and mistreatment was many hundreds of thousands, likely over a million, and that the executions proabbly numbered at least a hundred thousand or so. According to Chomsky these highly qualified specialists also made :: repeated discoveries that massacre reports were :: false. Of course no such discoveries are to be found in the material he cites, and his article appeared shortly after the massacres reported by the refugees were devastatingly confirmed by when such a massacre occurred on the border. --digsig James A.
