I should also note that National Review’s readers are taking Conrad Black to the woodshed in the comments on his article. And they’re doing it without being vile:

This one’s even better:

One more, this one taking Black’s presentation of history head on:

It’s cold comfort that the commenters are pushing back. That’s good for them, but it speaks poorly of the NRO’s editing and publishing staff that they saw this fit to print. Black is either lying or ignorant about the subjects he purports to write about…both the body counts of past empires and the origins of current violence in post-colonial regions. His obfuscations are apparent with minimal source checking on the time and periods he’s mentioning.
