@izzythepush,
Quote:Dershowitz has called Chomsky a "Holocaust denier"
Quote:This is a tactic the right use all the time.
But this is Alan Dershowitz, Izzy. I think that he may have been tagged a number of times as a radical liberal. He's a famous US professor of law/lawyer who contradicts everything he has ever stood for in that one article, not to mention that he has also weaved a few tall tales.
There are a lot of take home quotes in Mendenhall's article, but this one is really good;
"He's [Chomsky] simply pleading for people to do just what Dershowitz attempts to do: provide evidence of the bin Laden-9/11 link so that bin Laden could be prosecuted as in societies that, in Chomsky's words, "profess some respect for the law" and where "suspects are apprehended and brought to trial." That should be easy enough for a professor of criminal law to understand."
