PS: I’ll be putting Lewy’s original quotes up on the thread in a few days, unless someone wants to beat me to it. I don’t have a copy handy tonight but I put an order in for it, should get it by Monday or so. I did check into Lewy’s background before I wrote the review but did not copy the original quote, as I was not aware it had been disputed.

Click here for an extended excerpt from Lewy's "America in Vietnam" regarding WSI.

The level of detail indicates that Professor Lewy had a good understating of what was in the report at that time he published. The only alternative is that Lewy made up his summary, complete with quotes, and falsified the footnote. That is simply not credible, no matter what Media Matters would like to believe.
