Chomsky didn't support Pol Pot, he criticized extremely hypocritical and misleading media coverage of the mass killings carried out by Khmer Rouge.

I want young Chomsky back.
I believe it was also about how western media basically ignored the atrocities carried out by Indonesia in East Timor during the same time period?
