Counterintuitive though it may be, this is actually a victory for academic freedom and the free and open exchange of ideas: tenurelink. Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky's personal hatchet man, is so grotesque that he deserves comparison to Ward Churchill, the fiend who infamously called those who perished in the World Trade Center "little Eichmanns." These men are a cancer on our society and the sooner their spurious ideas are discredited the better.
