For the readers information, The reason Dr. Finkelstein did not catch the error on the first round of emails was because i made the error this mourning after I was done compiling the data & wrote an into to the blog post, dumb mistake & I admit it...<br /><br />To address the comment about Al Jazeera & American Radical. Sure enough Al Jazeera never got the message that they lost legitimacy in the eyes of Dr. Finkelstien amongst many others(including myself to a lesser degree)... Hope you get half as good as chuckle out of the observation as I do...dicey leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788827677282964964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508157719904818848.post-49564007847283385382011-04-19T19:22:43.815-07:002011-04-19T19:22:43.815-07:00Dicey Lee,
Thanks for the correction. I appreciat...Dicey Lee,<br /><br />Thanks for the correction. I appreciate it. Credit should be given where it is due. It is surprising though and perhaps a bit ironic that Norman Finkelstein who is known for his careful reading of documents did not catch your mistake in your first email to him and/or failed to correct you:) On the other hand, he is trying to defend his position on Libyan intervention which is similar to Milne's...and he is a very busy man who still admirably takes time to answer people's emails. Anyway, I was also amused at your comment to NF about Al Jazeera, the now compromised news network, running the documentary on him, and giving him the exposure he perhaps deserve for his work and his struggles, and which is now somewhat responsible for swelling the ranks of his admirers.

He may have posted it on his website, but that does not mean he wrote it. The exchange between you and him is interesting, but it might be equally if not more interesting to have Seumas Milne address the questions you raise since he is the one who wrote the article that prompted your thoughts.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508157719904818848.post-58842361004401018342011-04-19T17:23:23.806-07:002011-04-19T17:23:23.806-07:00in my humble opinion, there was going to be a mass...in my humble opinion, there was going to be a massacre in Benghazi. I was aware that Gaddafi's tanks were at the doors but is the first time I see the video (see above) that shows the attack with the Grad rockets. Such an attack has a complete disregard for human life. Those rockets were not pointed to so called "rebels". That is a collective punishment. With the evidence going on in Misurata and other small cities that apparently have been wipe out, I can only imagine that something horrible was about to happened in Benghazi. <br /><br />No doubt in my mind.<br /><br />Montreal, CanadaFerFer1958https://www.blogger.com/profile/02268422275258496741noreply@blogger.com
