That is a good point Nathaniel.
How Chomsky and Cockburn get picked up by the right because of their writings on the JFK case and how their followers dismiss people like us as not being proper leftists.
I was not writing about that phenomenon. I was just trying to show how wrong Chomsky was here, so wrong that it could not be done by accident. So wrong--about both Vietnam and the Missile Crisis-- that it should be enough to discredit him.
Maybe you would like to write an appendix to this about that?
