Thomas Brown, a professor of sociology at Lamar University, in Texas, has argued that Mr. Churchill has falsely asserted that the U.S. Army knowingly distributed smallpox-infested blankets to Mexican Indians in 1837. Mr. Brown has written: "One must reluctantly conclude that Mr. Churchill fabricated the most crucial details of his genocide story."
^^^^^^
CB: If I can get a clarification, is Thomas Brown claiming that the U.S. Army distributed smallpox-infested blankets to Mexican Indians, but that the U.S. Army didn't know they were smallpox-infested ? Or is Brown saying the U.S. Army just did not in fact distribute smallpox-infested blankets to Mexican Indians at all ? <...>
Uh oh... someone's asking "hard questions"....
