I think you can see how fundamentally wicked - and I'm not using that word lightly - Chomsky's representation of Trnopolje is from this interview with RTS Online. If you listen carefully to what he says he seems to be suggesting that it was a single manipulated photograph that entirely determined the Western public's opinion of the war. Nothing else was significant?<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AapFe-C6tB4&NR=1<br />at 1 min 28 into the clip<br />(The whole interview sequence starts at<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/otporash#p/u/7/EEhgwdJldeU)<br /><br />Re Chomsky's reference to Philip Knightley, who in fact did seem to get a certain amount of media coverage, Chomsky seems not to have noticed that David Campbell produced a rather more informed analysis in his essay Atrocity, Memory, Photography at http://www.david-campbell.org/photography/atrocity-and-memory/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-52578105291797117792009-10-29T15:56:06.392-04:002009-10-29T15:56:06.392-04:00Great post, thank you for the letter.Great post, thank you for the letter.Revolution-Evolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376863646573429665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-47422713581932359772009-10-29T15:56:05.452-04:002009-10-29T15:56:05.452-04:00Great post, thank you for the letter.Great post, thank you for the letter.Revolution-Evolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376863646573429665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-64503627773429808702009-10-28T20:38:15.964-04:002009-10-28T20:38:15.964-04:00Some time ago I had an E-mail exchange with Chomsk...Some time ago I had an E-mail exchange with Chomsky in which he denied the Srebrenica genocide without even considering what I had to say. He dismissed my factual responses to his genocide denial by saying that I am just "blowing the wind." Chomsky is also on record for <a href="http://srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.com/2005/12/chomskys-genocidal-denial.html" rel="nofollow">denying his own denial</a>.<br /><br />Chomsky is a man who has no character, no moral values, no appreciation for proven historical facts, and a man who is not intelligent, but rather cleverly manipulative. His rhetoric appeals to lower quality audience, those belonging to various groups of genocide deniers, war crimes apologists, conspiracy theorists, anti-western nutcases, and similar types of filth that poison this world.Srebrenica Genocidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537958649391909339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-39017553512228539412009-10-28T14:36:31.950-04:002009-10-28T14:36:31.950-04:00Thanks for publishing this open letter, I will lin...Thanks for publishing this open letter, I will link to it in my own blog, because I have had problems with Chomsky on the same issue all along, Mr.Vulliamy has been a pretty decent representative of his views, and a lot more intellectually honest than Noam Chomsky who is so undeservedly popular among educated people.Katja R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17813405984067905779noreply@blogger.com
