The way Emma Brockes has been traduced by her own newspaper, the Guardian, over her interview with Noam Chomsky, is a disgrace. (Funny - who would have expected to see the words 'Guardian' and 'a disgrace alongside each other?)
David Aaronovitch, Oliver Kamm and Francis Wheen have, however, been relentless and forensic in their quest to uphold her bona fides. The Guardian, on the other hand, has refused to acknowledge the truth.
The three musketeers have now released a letter they wrote on 1st December to the powers that be at the Guardian, because they have finally hit the end of the road within the Guardian. I won't edit it; you can read it here. (It's long and complicated but extremely instructive as an example of how Chomsky twists the case, and his supporters do likewise.)
