>”Set up by Jim Ennes. Jim was present to experience that tragic mistake
>in the middle of a chaotic war. I take everything he writes with a grain
>of salt. Much of what he purports to be fact does contain a degree of
>truth; on the other hand, I have difficulty agreeing with many, if any,
>of his inferences and innuendos. He also seems to be rather sensitive to
>criticism; I have more than once personally been on the receiving end of
>harrassment he’s orchestrated. He reminds me of Pat Buchanan, to whom I
>felt William Buckley was being extremely generous in merely concluding
>that statements of Buchanan were anti-semitic rather than concluding
>that Buchanan himself was anti-semitic. Ennes has even instigated
>complaints to my University in order to stifle the application of
>certain adjectives to him and I have at times heard from other Jews that
>they have also been subject to similar harrassment.”

>What’s missing is any data or analysis about the subject, the Liberty
>incident. The above is merely an ad-hominem attack. From my first-hand
>experience, by “criticism” Prof Stein means “my practice of calling
>researchers anti-semitic.”
