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.
