Brown's use of “The history is bad enough — there’™s no need to embellish it.”, which appears to be wielded as an aspersion of Churchill by using Thornton's words, is totally out of context and potentially libelous.

Just my $.02 on the level of scholarship, citing prowess, and more importantly, integrity, of the hatchet jobs done on Ward Churchill's work over the years.

Brown is a complete scumbag. When I raised hell about him accusing Churchill of perjury (his errors about the Mandan smallpox outbreak were part of a legal defense mounted in the aftermath of a Columbus Day protest), he backed off. Here's some things I have written about this creep. I should mention, btw, that one of the reasons me and Doug have patched things up was his telling Brown where to get off, when he showed up on lbo-talk.
