`44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)  == References ==    == New Archives found in Cambodia and new sections ==  Recently new archives have been found in Cambodia shedding some light on missing Western people. I don't have the original documents, just what a news article on The Australian wrote. I have updated the Aftermath section and cited the article. Also, perhaps there should be consideration to open a section on the genocide, the death camps and recognition (which countries recognized the regime).     By 1977, the 'genocides' in Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime were condemned by New York Review of Books as well as Reader's Digest and TV Guide with the ``boast`` that they had eliminated 2 million  or one fourth of the population.  However, journalist Jean Lacouture had conceded weeks later that the story was a ``fabrication`` and the actual death toll may have been in the thousands.  Chomsky noted, ``by mid-1977, according to U.S. intelligence, the death toll had reached 'tens if not hundreds of thousands,' mostly from disease, malnutrition, and overwork, the result primarily of 'brutal, rapid change,' not 'mass genocide'; this assessment, ignored at the time since it did not satisfy the current propaganda requirements, is now quite generally confirmed by subsequent scholarship``Media:The Chomsky Reader, ``East Timor`` Pantheon Books 1987 page 310.   :This only goes to show that Chomsky, that great ... linguist, is prepared to belittle any crime unless he can blame it on America.   09:`
