> Dwayne, the Johnstone book is garbage, Noam defends it
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/corrections/story/0,,1644017,00.html>
>The headline used on the interview, about which Prof Chomsky also
>complained, added to the misleading impression given by the
>treatment of the word massacre. It read: Q: Do you regret supporting
>those who say the Srebrenica massacre was exaggerated? A: My only
>regret is that I didn't do it strongly enough.
>
>No question in that form was put to Prof Chomsky. This part of the
>interview related to his support for Diana Johnstone (not Diane as
>it appeared in the published interview) over the withdrawal of a
>book in which she discussed the reporting of casualty figures in the
>war in former Yugoslavia. Both Prof Chomsky and Ms Johnstone, who
>has also written to the Guardian, have made it clear that Prof
>Chomsky's support for Ms Johnstone, made in the form of an open
>letter with other signatories, related entirely to her right to
>freedom of speech. The Guardian also accepts that and acknowledges
>that the headline was wrong and unjustified by the text.
