Further on my entry Rashid Khalidi...A Case of Plagiarism?, Elizabeth O'Neill at History News Network has put up a post recapping the facts and includes reaction from Khalidi himself.
Interesting article. If I follow Khalidi's defense, it goes something like this:
A staffer working for me when I was President of the American Committee for Jerusalem (a very small organization) wrote an article and put my byline on it and published it without my knowledge.
Anyone see anything wrong with this picture?
I mean, would you write an article , sign your boss's name to it, and publish it under his byline without mentioning it to him?
I don't think so.
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here
[the brain]" -1984 (film)
